Fill does not seem like the correct term to me.  What exactly are you  
filling?  Whether or not the tile repeats or not (e.g., background- 
repeat) seems more like the "fill" property to me.  All background- 
size does is set an explicit tile size (where that tile may or may not  
be repeated) rather than using the intrinsic size of the image.

This property's name is fine.  This is such a non-issue.
