Re: [csswg-drafts] [fonts-4] @font-palette-values uses illegal integer descriptor names

Numeric descriptors seem overly generic (but each says to which at-rule it applies, so I guess other at-rules could also have any numeric descriptors they need).

OTOH having to use some prefix just to get around the rules of the language is a pain. Remember the restriction that IDs could not start with a number, so people who cared about validity had to change id="6" to id="i6" or whatever? Despite the fact that the numeric IDs worked just fine in practice.  An annoyance which HTML5 fixed, of course.

This seems like the same sort of thing, to me.
