background-repeat is a comma-separated list of <repeat-style>. The grammar for that is:
<repeat-style> = repeat-x | repeat-y | [repeat | space | round | no-repeat]{1,2}
The list of meanings for the single-value cases is in this order:
‘repeat-x’
‘repeat-y’
‘repeat’
‘no-repeat’
‘space’
‘round’
The list of meanings for the double-value cases is in this order:
‘repeat’
‘no-repeat’
‘space’
‘round’
These two lists are ordered consistently with each other but not with the <repeat-style> grammar. It would seem slightly better to use this grammar (only change is a semantically-equivalent reordering) instead, so that the order of terms in <repeat-style> is the same as the orders in the explanations:
<repeat-style> = repeat-x | repeat-y | [repeat | no-repeat | space | round]{1,2}
