> This is a usability drawback with no compensating advantage except for theoretical purity. I chose compatibility with existing practice as preferable. You should be choosing compat with **CSS**, not with outside usage. The latter just results in an inconsistent language with annoying footguns. We *must*, *at minimum*, make the argument `[ <angle> | <number> ]`. I don't particularly want the "or `<number>`" part either - "unitless angles" are not applicable across all of CSS, so it's another random oddity that people have to remember - they can omit the unit if they're using degrees in *these* places but not *those* places. Better to be consistent and let people learn only a single way to do things; saving three characters (but losing a small amount of readability) isn't worth it. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/278#issuecomment-231864990 using your GitHub account
