How many WDs would there be in most cases? If there were just a few, you 
could use -wd1, -wd2 (as has been previously suggested), although that 
would mean that browsers would have to recognize multiple properties for 
BC. Not ideal I would imagine.

I agree that the issue is with the time it takes for specs to reach CR. 
Is it not somehow possible for individual properties (or small sets of 
properties) to be moved to CR independently?

Well, they have the same effect in most (simple) cases. This is similar 
to what I have to use now, and it works. (using the shorthand 4-value 
version makes it shorter).
