 The need for css property aliasing has kept showing up recently, but we have yet to define how it actually works. This is an attempt at listing the alternatives.

 ===== Opera's handling of break-* =====
-Here is what Opera currently does for **break-*** and **page-break-***. They are parsed separately, and each only accepts the values that their respective specs allow (ie, page-break-before:avoid-column is invalid). At when we determine the specified value, if there is a break-* property, we use that, otherwise if there is a **page-break-*** property we use it, otherwise we use the default value(auto).

 This is stored in an unnamed internal thing that has the semantics of **break-***.

+===== shorthand / longhand, take 2 =====
 It may a bit suprising, but we could turn the shorthand / longhand thing on its head, and say that **page-break-*** are shorthands to **break-***. Shorthands with a single longhand are unheard of as far as I know, but it would work relatively intuitively if you don't think of it too much.
