Do you have any opinion on the alternative syntax with parentheses that
I mentioned earlier[1]?
<bg-layer> = <bg-image> || <bg-position> || ( <bg-size> ) ||
<repeat> || <attachment> || <bg-origin> || no-clip
<final-bg-layer> = <bg-image> [ / <color> ]? ||
<bg-position> || ( <bg-size> ) || <repeat> || <attachment> ||
<bg-origin> || no-clip || <bg-color>
Or the functional notation
<bg-layer> = ... size( <bg-size> ) ...
that somebody else suggested[2]?
