Ok, this is only tangentially related, but does anyone know why it's "background-repeat: no-repeat" instead of "none"? Or why it's "text-wrap: none" but "white-space: nowrap" or "white-space: pre-wrap"?

Your example is incorrect

"transparency: 1" != "opacity: 1"

We use transparency in the US. Transparency is how much light passes through an object and Opacity is how much it blocks.

so:

"transparency: 1" == "opacity: 0"

It's because you're able to define all the background styling in one line:

background: #000 url(pic.png) no-repeat;

So having background-repeat: none; would conflict with background/background-image: none;

I am quite sure I'm not the only one that read the text with a brit accent in my mind.

Funny enough, the example is ambiguous since:

"transparency: 0.5" == "opacity: 0.5"

The sound. Oh my goodness, the sound. Why is there not a button to stop it?

I was listening to some music in the background with multiple tabs open, and I didn't expect a project link from HN to autoplay music. Confusion ensues.

This would be awesome if I could use LESS and not open myself to a possible LFI.
