What should happen if I do:

   style.values.color.keyword = "rgb(255, 0, 0)";

?

Do you have a list of specific potential issues you'd like 
implementation feedback on, or are you basically looking for such a list?

My general take is that this would be really nice to have for some 
properties (top/left and transforms perhaps; maybe colors) and a not 
that useful for other properties.  It would also take some time to do 
this right.  In general, I'm interested in this happening for the 
properties where it's useful, don't care much about the ones where it 
doesn't, and don't expect to have time to implement it in the next month 
or so.  After that, we'll see...

Perhaps an implementation for some subset of properties is a way to 
start here?
