| RQ4
| Calls to a variable in the assignment of the value of a property  
should
| make the corresponding CSS declaration invalid in a non-conformant
| legacy browser, the CSS error handling rules allowing then a fallback
| to a regular CSS Level 2 rule.

This requirement is not necessary with my idea of overwritable (and  
some new) keywords. It is not as universally usable as your proposal  
and requires more than one new at-rule, but it degrades much better  
and type mismatches or unknown values have to be handled only at  
instantiation. Authors will probably like your proposal better,  
though, because of its powerfulness, but I'm afraid this makes it  
also more prone to bugs.
