It really depends. For this simple testcase:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<body style="background: fixed red;">
<script>
alert(getComputedStyle(document.body, "").background);
</script>
</body>
both Gecko and WebKit alert the empty string. Gecko does this for all
shorthands, in fact; arguably
http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Style/css.html calls for that behavior.
Of course getComputedStyle also doesn't actually return computed values,
so using it to reason about computed values is pretty pointless....
