Looking at the current list of properties, there are seven that have "width" as part of their name, and only one (extra-spacing-width) where it's a pair of numbers. And according to the description of extra-spacing-width, it would be more properly called "extra-spacing-widths"; it refers to how much padding is put on both sides of an item. --- Christopher Carl Heckman
