Aliasing isn't a technical term, and we tend to use the word loosely to mean "have both, and make them do the same". Sometimes more side effects are needed to make it work smoothly, sometimes not. In the case of values, like here, just defining the two values to both exist and to trigger the same behavior is generally enough. But for instance, when we wanted to alias properties break-before and page-break-before, we ended up doing so by making one a short-hand of the other: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-break/#page-break-properties - Florian
