you'd have to check both values.  On that end it seems inconvenient.
Anything to be done to improve that?

You can't avoid checking both anyway - if you ever look at el.style, for
example, both keywords will show up, because that's the specified style.
Only computed style would be affected by a merging.

Plus, if we did merge them, it would be in favor of "nowrap" for compat
reasons, which somewhat defeats the point.
