Child elements of background are described using deprecated features only. Accordingly, the background element should either be described in terms of current OOXML elements or deprecated.

If the element of background is to be part of the spec. then it should be defined in terms other than VML. Otherwise it should appear as a deprecated element in the informative annex and the above comment applies.
