[css-masking] lc issue 2: rename mask-* properties

Hi fantasai,

LC Issue 2 [1] is still open and I would very much like to resolve it now. We discussed renaming all current long hand properties for mask-* a while back and it seems there is no one in favor for renaming mask-image, mask-type, mask-size and others. The structure of the spec got much cleaner and I do not believe that people would still get confused by reading the spec. Can we close this issue?

Greetings,
Dirk

I assume you would like to have a different naming schema for the properties as well. ‘mask-position-*’ might be confusing in combination with the '*-position’ longhand. Do you maybe have another suggestion?
