By definition, every property that can cause a stacking context does
or doesn't based on its value; otherwise every element would be a
stacking context all the time. ^_^

But you clearly mean if a property has *non-initial* values that both
do and don't cause stacking contexts.  I think the answer to that
might be no, but I haven't gone through and analyzed things yet.
