Re: [css-variables] the new ED for CSS Variables

A preprocessor only need to be ran one time per file version. CSS stylesheet 
won't change each time a client connect. At least, they should not.

The true reason is that CSS Variables may vary on the client (based on 
script, alternate stylesheets, usestylesheets...) and in function of the 
location in the document, things that a preprocessor can't handle.

For at least one good reason: moving the burden to the CLIENT decreases
the burden on the SERVER...
