I had a little brainstorm about exposing JS properties of elements to CSS via CSS variables so authors can make use of a little more situational awareness when writing styles. I've been toying around with this idea for a while, but this thread about User Agent properties gave me the motivation I needed to get it published :D

There are a few fun code examples in the README and on the demo page: https://github.com/tomhodgins/varius#examples

I wonder if a value handoff between JS and CSS like this via an interface of CSS variables could help give CSS more power without needing to extend CSS features 🤔
