[csswg-drafts] [css-variables-1] Please clarify in the Intro about custom properties *cascading*

Tyler-H has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-variables-1] Please clarify in the Intro about custom properties *cascading* ==
The CSS Variables spec Intro [concludes](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables-1/#intro) by saying 

>  and the change will propagate to all uses of that variable automatically.

But this isn't quite true. It will only propagate to all *cascaded* uses of that variable automatically, no? If that's correct, it would be useful to help clear up some confusion with authors thinking a CSS variable can be used in elements that do not cascade from the element where the custom property was declared. 

If correct, I suggest simply adding in the word *cascaded* there:

> and the changes will propagate to all cascaded uses of that variable automatically.
