As Brad also mentions, I think only one custom transform should apply
within the text-transform property. We could allow compounding within
@text-transform rules but I don't think that's necessary for a first
version. I think we should keep it simple.
I also don't think we should allow custom named transforms to be
referenced directly within text-transform rules, defining it that way
may seem simpler but it leads to conflicts with future value additions.
I would propose using a 'custom(xxx)' property value.
@text-transform small-kana { ... }
rt { text-transform: custom(small-kana); }
This also makes it clear to those reading an unknown stylesheet that
'small-kana' is user defined rather than an intrinsic value.
