OK, but it seems odd to have a completely different value for the shorthand than what shows up in the longhand. Given 'background-repeat-x: repeat; background-repeat-y: no-repeat;', I would expect the longhand to be 'background-repeat: repeat no-repeat'  for the way CSS normally works. Should we change the longhand values too, and deprecate the old way?
