My initial proposal of >allowing the 'background-position' property with 4 values is shown >in these linked test cases. I made a different proposal entirely, mostly based on the fact that calling a property 'background-origin' and then having its intended effect have little or nothing to do with defining an origin point seems counter-intuitive at best. Thus my suggestion to completely redefine that property and shift what its currently-drafted values do to a new property with a (slightly) more intuitively descriptive name. >Moving on to progressive enchantment using CSS3.

You lost me there, since it sounds very much like you're saying that progressive enhancement is made more difficult by the addition of new CSS properties, and that make no sense to me. -- Eric A.
