That's true indeed. But setting text-emphasis-position on the root is
only useful if you have multiple semantically different content that you
want to style with emphasis dots. Otherwise,

  em { text-emphasis: red below right; }

seems more like what authors would do.


By the way, 'font' isn't a shorthand of all 'font-*' properties in CSS3
Fonts too. Is that a problem? I don't think it's a good idea to remove
the 'font' prefix for these font-related properties...
