The last example has "pixels shifted right" and "pixels shifted down". Perhaps the top of the article could use the terms "right" and "top" that people might be more familiar with instead of x and y.

Points to the background-position article.

background-image doesn't let you define anything other than the background image(s). Positioning infomration doesn't belong there.

Points to the position article that explains things in detail.
