True, but it leaves the author unable to use the CSS `@if` syntax.

> new keyword like `@css-if` which is converted to the CSS's `@if`

Also true. This shifts the burden off from the existing ecosystem and 
onto the everyday developers.

Aside from technology I think there are real concerns regarding the 
effects on the wider CSS and Sass communities, some potential 
examples:

_Raising the barrier to entry_ by negatively affecting google search 
results for the correct syntax for a given context i.e. authoring in 
CSS or Sass.

_Causing confusion_ where-in blog authors would need to explicitly 
declare CSS `@if` or Sass `@if` in their content.
