Description

The following input doesn't display any image in the PDF generated by FOP:

<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>

While the following does:

<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>

It would be nice if the "background" shortcut property could be supported:

Thanks!
