bernhardf-ro has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-syntax][cssom][css-values] Asymmetry of parsing and serializing numbers == According to [[css-syntax]4.3.12.](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax/#consume-number)&[4.3.13.](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax/#convert-string-to-number) as well as [[css-values]5.](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#numeric-types) numbers are parsed and processed with the maximum possible precision. However, [[cssom]6.7.2.<number>](https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom/#ref-for-number-value) specifies a maximum precision of 6 digits (7th for rounding) for serialization. So serializing and re-parsing can change values. For example, JavaScript modifications of style sheets can have unexpected and unavoidable side-effects. _To demonstrate a worst-case_: `image-orientation:44.99999deg` computes to _0deg_, but after serialization and re-parsing computes to _90deg_, as it was rounded to `45deg`. _So the question is_: Should parsing also limit precision or is there a different solution?
