That can't be done without changing 'background' parsing, since the first <color> you see would be ambiguous as to whether it should be treated as a background-color or background-image. You'd have to wait until you parsed the entire layer to tell for sure, and this sort of thing is generally avoided. (We do this in list-style, but that was probably a mistake.) It's unclear whether this is a big enough deal to care about, but I do like it for its elegance, particularly since colors are paint servers (the analogue of CSS's <image> type) in SVG. ~TJ
