Pardon my ignorance but I'm surprised these kinds of scenarios haven't already been worked out.
For example, something like this:
background-image: url(a.png), url(b.png), url(c.png), url(d.png);
background-position: 0 0, 100% 100%;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
What should an OM query for 'background' return? Is it constructable? However this works, I would imagine it would work for background-position and background-position-x and -y.
If the desire is to hold off on putting it in B&B3 and instead put it into B&B4, is there a draft spec for that at all? What would I need to do to get developers at Mozilla and Opera to get this implemented before B&B4 gets to CR? I'll send them a pizza. :)
