I don't think this is a good solution, the resulting property will be
very complex considering all the values on 'image-fit' and
'image-position':

I suggest that we either (1) stick to the current "image" names but
specify that this can apply to <video> as well, or that we (2) rename
these to 'content-fit' and 'content-position'.

My preference would be (2).
