Re: [css3][background] background-size as the background shorthand

For what it's worth, I have been facing this bug of Wekkit some time ago. 
Every browser shadowed a forgotten and inherited (less-specific) 
background-size declaration, but not webkit. It took me some time to track 
the issue down because this resulted in the drawing on the whole background 
of one single pixel of an image, which happened to be the background color I 
had set on the element such that I thought the image was not showing at all 
on webkit (in fact, it's Tab who found the error in my code, I think).

So, I'm enclined to agree that this is a Webkit bug that should be fixed in 
Webkit and not propagated to other browsers.
