Glenn Adams commented on FOP-2578:
----------------------------------

As you probably realize, the 'background' property is merely syntactic sugar, a 
shorthand. As such, its support does not add any new functionality or 
expressiveness that is not already supported. As is noted in [1], this property 
is not supported.

Could you provide a detailed justification of your request to add this support?

> The following input doesn't display any image in the PDF generated by FOP:
> {code}
> <fo:block role="html:div" 
> background="url(&quot;http://semiticsoft.com/resources/front_end/images/Icon-Globe-Small.gif&quot;)
>  no-repeat right center">
>   <fo:block space-before="0.8em" space-after="0.8em" text-indent="0em" 
> role="html:p">hello<fo:block role="html:br"/>world</fo:block>
>    </fo:block>
> </fo:block>
> {code}
> While the following does:
> {code}
> <fo:block role="html:div" 
> background-image="url(&quot;http://semiticsoft.com/resources/front_end/images/Icon-Globe-Small.gif&quot;)"
>  background-repeat="no-repeat" background-position="right center">
>   <fo:block space-before="0.8em" space-after="0.8em" text-indent="0em" 
> role="html:p">hello<fo:block role="html:br"/>world</fo:block>
>    </fo:block>
> </fo:block>
> {code}
> It would be nice if the "background" shortcut property could be supported:
