Yeah, I guess I don't have a lot of other good use cases. Being able to concat together a unit value and a number value and then parse them as a length would be another case, but it can be solved by the `calc(var(--num) * var(--unit))` approach. The only other time where I see people complain about the difference between strings and numbers is for `counter()`. Getting a `counter-val()` function, as requested in #1026, in combination with a concat/format function for printing numbers in `content` would take care of those issues. Mostly, this issue was because I didn't understand *why* the full `attr()` hadn't been implemented. I guess I'd assumed it was a problem with the type parsing syntax being too vague, rather than an objection to having properties other than `content` depend on element attributes. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3702#issuecomment-488141805 using your GitHub account
