Hmmm. in the mean time the world went on ... and we don't have even the 
slightest provision for that. Still I can see that prety everybody hits 
that when he/she starts its css. right?

So, may be now it would be a good time to focus hard and since history 
proved, that too ambitious designs fail, sattle for a simplest possible 
"something" that gives that feature of dereferrencing values.

IMHO, the simplest possible thing is: those css-variables with set 
algebra I was talking about a fiew posts ago. IMHO, with tools like LESS 
with us for some time now, countrary to earlier days, currently there is 
experience of "what works and what doesn't" regarding "parametrising 
css", right?

pls?
