Description Gérard Talbot 2012-10-14 02:43:06 UTC 
div {background: url("support/60x60-green.png") / 100% auto no-repeat;}

should be parsed as invalid declaration and therefore be rejected, ignored.

The syntax is

<final-bg-layer> = <bg-image> || <position> [ / <bg-size> ]? ||
<repeat-style> || <attachment> || <box>{1,2} || <'background-color'>

so, that implies that if <bg-size> is declared, then <position> must be declared too.

Additional info
---------------
- Firefox 16.0.1 error console and Opera 12.02 error console spot the error and reports the error.
- Chrome 22.0.1229.94 strikes the declaration suggesting a parsing error too.

The validator was implementing the grammar of a previous draft.
Fixed now, thanks for the report !
