Hi list

When I use the shorthand
background: url(image.gif) fixed;

all browsers should expand it to
background: url(image.gif) 0% 0% fixed transparent;


In Mr. Zeldman's book (Designing with ...) I've seen an explicit

p {
    background: transparent;
    ...
    ...
    }

and I don't understand, why it could/should be important,
since this is the initial value anyway, and there is no
earlier declaration to overwrite. Prevention?

1/ it is a recommended practice to set both background colour and foreground colour at the same time

2/  it could be for overriding a previous, or less specific rule.
p {background:lime;}
p.foo {background:transparent;}

etc.
