It's easy to distract and confuse web authors from the "real work" by having to chase down the root cause of such things. I don't have a solution in mind (yet), just a problem observation. The problem here could have been solved by having the 'background' shorthand reset 'background-size' but not be able to specify any of its values there. That way the resetting behavior would be consistent with the spec and with unprefixed properties, and the feature wouldn't be exposed unprefixed. The syntax would just be slightly more constrained than under unprefixed implementations. ~fantasai
