Dear i18nWG,
   We will not be adding anything to Backgrounds and Borders L3;
the current LC is just to handle some small adjustments to
existing features. But we will be adding these keywords to L4.
If they're not in the FPWD when we publish that, feel free to
complain. :)
   Let us know if this is acceptable.
