Description

L4 currently has an issue:

Or should this be defining the -webkit-background-clip property, saying that all the values are identical, with this additional text value?

Per resolution of https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4839, the answer is "no", and both -webkit-background-clip and background-clip should have the same value space.

Research direction

Start with the CSS Backgrounds Level 4 issue linked in the description and review CSSWG issue 4839 for the cited resolution. Update the specification so -webkit-background-clip and background-clip have the same value space; done means the spec no longer treats their values differently.
