Loirooriol has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-values] Contradictory statements regarding allowability of ∞ == According to https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#numeric-ranges and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#numeric-ranges, > CSS theoretically supports infinite precision and infinite ranges for all value types; however in reality implementations have finite capacity. UAs should support reasonably useful ranges and precisions. Range extremes that are ideally unlimited are indicated using ∞ or −∞ as appropriate. But in https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#calc-range, > By definition, ±∞ are outside the allowed range for any property This seems contradictory. If I understand correctly, the former quote means that infinity is theoretically allowed, but in practice it's not possible. The latter quote means that infinity is invalid both theoretically and in practice. I prefer the latter, and replace things like `<integer [0,∞]>` with `<integer [0,∞)>` since `∞ ∉ ℤ`.
