There's no parsing complexity if we do either one of: * come up with another syntax for separating background-size in the shorthand * require that you can't specify background-size in the shorthand without also specifying background-position (so that you can't use the '/' separating background-position and background size and simultaneously omit background-position) -David -- L.
