Do you mean because it's possible that the computed values of the longhand properties end up not forming a valid value for the shorthand when combined? Or just that shorthands don't really have computed values, and are just mechanisms to pipe values into the longhand properties? > There is a sentence about how declaring a shorthand to be !important is > equivalent to declaring all of its sub-properties to be !important.
