Hello,

Is this test correct:

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/CSS3Backgrounds/background-shorthand-background-size.html

The same test, while using subproperties and not shorthand, is rendered
differently in Firefox 16.0.1, Chrome 22.0.1229.94, Opera 12.02, Konqueror
4.9.2:

http://www.gtalbot.org/BrowserBugsSection/CSS3Backgrounds/background-size.html

If 'background-position' is not explicitly set in the background shorthand
form, then it should default to initial value which is '0% 0%'.

Syntax is:

<final-bg-layer> = <bg-image> || <position> [ / <bg-size> ]? ||
<repeat-style> || <attachment> || <box>{1,2} || <'background-color'>

where
"
A double bar (||) separates two or more options: one or more of them must
occur, in any order.
"

So why are these 2 tests rendered differently in those 4 browsers?

Am I missing something here?
