@Crissov, the skip token is something CSS currently does not offer. `inherit` overrides a value, instructing the element to take the [computed value of its parent](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/inherit). This is different than avoiding an assignment altogether. As @ausi demonstrates, it’s helpful to keep thoughts grouped together, which is part of why shorthands are [so convenient](https://twitter.com/tabatkins/status/608664528918700034). Regarding the skip token being `*`, I haven’t had an issue with `/` being confused for division as it is used in CSS. Perhaps the Sass community had some issue, which would have now been resolved, as the prevalent use of the division character should have paved the way for a multiplication character. -- GitHub Notification of comment by jonathantneal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/733#issuecomment-261546826 using your GitHub account
