[WSG] opinions on use of css shorthand properties

[Neerav]

I have noticed an increasing number of sites using shorthand properties 
for css eg:

h1 {  font: bold 12pt/14pt Helvetica  }

however I know that just like actual css implementation, different 
browsers support some/all/none of the shorthand properties

so is it worth using shorthand to create a smaller css file or as im 
doing at the moment is being explicit with every property the safest way 
to go eg:

h1 {
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 12pt;
  line-height: 14pt;
  font-family: Helvetica;
  font-variant: normal;
  font-style: normal;
  font-stretch: normal;
  font-size-adjust: none
}
