Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Define <'property-name'> notation to exclude listification

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Define <'property-name'> notation to exclude listification`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Redefine <'property-name'> to strip off top-level # multiplier`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: Define &lt;'property-name'> notation to exclude listification<br>
&lt;dbaron> fantasai, does that handle stuff like repeating lists?<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3146<br>
&lt;fantasai> https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#combining-values<br>
&lt;fantasai> dbaron, yes<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: This is an issue about our notation syntax.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: In CSS 2 we didn't have list valued properties of font-family. There was a convenience location where you could do name of property in quotes and a angle bracket and it ment use this whole property overthere.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: There's a ton of specs where  in CSS2 we could use that notation. We have to creat non-termal terms that are identical to another property except they're not comma sep lists.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Means property defintions are more obscure. When you look at table rather then listing color and then repeating there's a new type<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I think it would  be nice  to use this notation. We have to unlistify it in order to use it.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I was thinking it might make sense to redefine as the property's value space but if it has a top level hash multiplier we remove it and take the value space within each item<br>
&lt;dael> fremy: Makes a  lot of sense. Reasonable<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Notation change so it's editorial<br>
&lt;dael> florian: Makes sense to me as well<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Other opinions?<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen_: Objections?<br>
&lt;tantek> +1<br>
&lt;fantasai> Redefine &lt;'property-name'> to strip off top-level # multiplier<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Redefine &lt;'property-name'> to strip off top-level # multiplier<br>
