Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-variables] normalization of custom property names (#4452)

I think the question here is whether your text should cite deeper encoding variation. While you're correct that HTML's definition of "case-sensitive" means codepoint-by-codepoint identity (which I18N prefers, btw), the text here is a little misleading (it is *calling out* the case sensitivity without making mention of the code point identity issue). The reference to HTML's definition of `case-sensitive` is via the DOM spec. It's easy to overlook. So I think that I personally would prefer that this "health warning" mention the encoding issue. Perhaps:

> Unlike other CSS properties, custom property names are case-sensitive. This means that the underlying code point sequence must be identical.

You might also include something like:
