The position/size disambiguation needs to be more complex, because there is added possibility of confusion. Both properties can have one or two value, so if you see two lengths next to each other, you can't tell whether it's just one property being specified or two being given a single value. Similarly, if you see 3 values you can't tell which property gets a pair and which gets a singleton. There is no such ambiguity in this case. ~TJ
