The syntax for border-image is currently

   <image>
   [ <number> | <percentage>]{1,4} [ / <border-width>{1,4} ]?
   [ stretch | repeat | round ]{0,2}

which is unusually restrictive for CSS. Normally we allow swapping
the order of various elements of a complex syntax. In this case,
I'd expect to be allowed to place the stretch/repeat/round keywords
before the URL as well as at the end.

I propose

   [ <image> [ <number> | <percentage>]{1,4}
             [ / <border-width>{1,4} ]?       ]
   && [ stretch | repeat | round ]{0,2}
