Once both properties have the same set of values then isn't a well-defined sequence the only way to disambiguate them in shorthand short of including a functional notation ? You can come up with a different separator but you still have a define a sequence, no ? And if there are no expectations of how this should be done, then I would argue we should keep it as simple as possible. Given that the two properties share the same values, specifying them together is not unintuitive. If you get the order wrong, I'd think you'd notice right away in most cases.
