<p><em>Any</em> property name starting with the prefix "data-" is a <i>data property</i>. Data properties are defined to be valid but meaningless as they are meant solely for allowing authors to pass custom data around their page, similar to the <a href="http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/elements.html#embedding-custom-non-visible-data-with-the-data-*-attributes">custom data attributes</a> in HTML.

<p>The valid possible values of a data property are almost completely unrestricted. A data property can contain anything that is valid according to the <code>value</code> production in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#tokenization">CSS Core Grammar</a>. The values do not have to correspond to any existing CSS values, as they are not evaluated except to replace variables occuring within them until they are actually referenced in a normal property with a variable.</p>
<p>This specification reserves the use of all function tokens starting with the prefix "data" within data properties. Authors must not use any such functions except as defined in this specification or future updates. If a data property contains such a function, it must match the grammar defined in this specification or future updates; the use of such a function that does not follow the grammar, or that utilizes such a function that is not yet defined, makes the data property invalid and it must be ignored.</p>
