The purpose of the type parameter is to turn the string value of an
attribute into a value in the CSS type system, so example='7' with
a style sheet like
example { example: attr(example ...) }
might be interpreted as any of the following
example { example: 7 }
example { example: \37 }
example { example: "7" }
example { example: 7em }
example { example: url(7) }
...
CSS currently does not have special syntax to signify an "id" or an
"idref", so it would not be meaningful to have a string value inter-
preted that way.
