But to not breaking existing content make stroke NOT overriding long hand property is they are already set and if they are not explicitly set in the short hand. This isn't compatible with how the CSS cascade works, and so won't fly. When we expand a shorthand into the component longhands, we have no idea what else is supposed to have been set. Plus, the "reset" ability of the shorthand is actually a safety feature that makes it easier to extend the language in the future, as it means that you can use the shorthand and be sure of what you'll get, even if we add new things to the shorthand in the future (rather than having the new features leak through into your styling because you didn't override them explicitly). ~TJ
