It appears the vague wording of #28 has given birth to three children. From
simplest to most complex:

1) aliasing one *value*

	I don't see the value in this, if you'll pardon the pun.

2) defining one or more *declarations*

	I would find this highly useful.

3) using a "bag" (macro/function/class)

	Could this not be just as easily accomplished with #2?
	It's cool and geeky, yes; but does it make writing and
	reading CSS easier?

These three should be separate proposals -- they are vastly different.
