 In this case I would keep bgcolor, I don't think we have to unabbreviate
 everything just for the sake of consistency and in this case as you show,
 the abbrevated versions are not really suitable, unless Glynn implements
 the new mechanism, which I think would be confusing.

 This is great, I haven't tested it yet, but it will be very useful.
