Re: [csswg-drafts] [cssom-1] How to serialize specified value of properties with a var()? (#6484)

> Right, as per those issues you linked in your edit, leading (and trailing) whitespace is trimmed by the Syntax spec [...]. So Firefox is correct.

Then the trailing whitespace should be removed when serializing `color:__var(__--blue__)__`, isn't it? The output in Firefox is `color: var(__--blue__)__`.

I understand from the procedure to serialize a CSS value that it expects component value(s) to be used. The current definition of a component value does not include a string, but only preserverd tokens, function, and block. And I understand from the above comments that a `var()`-containg value will have to be serialized using the original string, as is already the case of a custom property value.

Therefore I was wondering if a component value can be string. But I realize that I can just understand that these cases (custom property and `var()`-containing value) should ignore what the serialization procedure defines.
