[csswg-drafts] [css-variables][css-conditional] allowing a white space only variable value

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

== [css-variables][css-conditional] allowing a white space only variable value ==
from https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2013Aug/0520.html by @heycam 

> I assume we want:

>   @supports (var-a: ) { }

>to succeed, since "var-a: " is a valid declaration.  However, 
> css-conditional-3 has:

> ```
>   supports_declaration_condition
>     : '(' S* declaration ')'
>     ;
> ```

> with "declaration" linking to CSS 2.1, where it is defined as:

> ```
>   declaration : property S* ':' S* value;
>   value       : [ any | block | ATKEYWORD S* ]+;
>   any         : [ IDENT | NUMBER | PERCENTAGE | DIMENSION | STRING
>                 | DELIM | URI | HASH | UNICODE-RANGE | INCLUDES
>                 | DASHMATCH | ':' | FUNCTION S* [any|unused]* ')'
>                 | '(' S* [any|unused]* ')' | '[' S* [any|unused]* ']'
>                 ] S*;
> ```

> This doesn't allow for a property value that consists only of white space.

> On the other hand, 
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-syntax/#consume-a-declaration seems to allow 
a declaration to be parsed that has no tokens at all after the ':'.  I 
guess that's OK as css-variables then defines that no tokens after the 
':' is invalid?
