I didn't suggest "requiring prefixing these numbers with 0". That would indeed be crazy.
I'm saying that, *if* we change Syntax to allow integer declaration names, we need to answer the question of what this means:
```
@font-palette-values foo {
1: blue;
01: red;
}
```
Is the second one illegal? (It would be very difficult/weird to make it illegal.) If they're both legal, do they represent the same descriptor, or different ones? (For the same reason, difficult/weird to make them different descriptors.) If they're the same descriptor, it seems possibly confusing to authors that two declarations with different names written down are actually the same; in all existing declarations, the names are compared codepoint-by-codepoint, possibly with ASCII case-folding.
I'm not necessarily opposed to this, but we do need to define it one way or another in Syntax. Or we can define the names to be `index-1`/etc, making the names more descriptive and removing the need for any additional changes in Syntax and browser parsers.
