How would this affect declarations of the form:

```css
:root  { --my-var: ; }
.class { --my-var: }
```

…which currently is a valid CSS var consisting of a single whitespace token?  Is it fine so long as the `;` is there, but not in the second case?

The ability to create empty vars is useful when you are adding a variable to a list property:

```css
background-image: var(--element-bg), linear-gradient(black, gray);
transform: var(--base-transform) rotate(45deg);
```
