[css3-images] aliasing of object-fit/object-position from Erik Dahlstrom on 2012-02-22 (www-style@w3.org from February 2012) (original) (raw)

In sections 5.4 and 5.5:

[[ User agents MAY accept ‘image-fit’ as an alias for ‘object-fit’, as a
previous version of this specification used that name. Authors must not
use ‘image-fit’ in their stylesheets. ]] [[ User agents MAY accept ‘image-position’ as an alias for
‘object-position’, as a previous version of this specification used that
name. Authors must not use ‘image-position’ in their stylesheets. ]]

Are there any precedents in any CSS specifications for this kind of
aliasing? It sounds to me like a good way of introducing incompatibilities
between user agents.

Please consider removing the sentences that allow 'image-fit' and
'image-position'.
