I've always been very annoyed by the inconsistent naming of properties, for example:

Ah I want to make the background a color, okay that's fine, use background-color. Okay done! Now the text as well, I can just use text-color right? Ehh.... No.... that's....color. Just color.

I think there is just a lot of legacy still around and it hasn't been deprecated for some reason. They should really rectify this issue in CSS 4, just give everything a consistent name.
