1. what if the intent is to disallow certain parent properties from being modified by CSS?  I know it's highly unlikely, but what is the reason we should impose this requirement?
2. What is the reason for this particular requirement?  Does SceneView or any other tools rely somehow on the order of properties?

Absent specific reasons, I'd rather leave these as is.
