> The idea that's been presented a few times is to special-case properties defined on the root, and make them available more globally, so any context that's not an element with :root as an ancestor can use var() to obtain the root values of the custom property. Would this be reasonable impl-wise?
It may be more of a hurdle for implementers, but this is really looking like the least clumsy option to me - there's no new syntax for authors to learn, and it's also consistent with `@page` which is specified as inheriting from :root. So this syntax is already valid:
```css
@page {
color: --mycolor;
}
```
It seems weird to me that you can do this in `@page`, but then have to have a special syntax to do the same in `@font-palette` or `::selection`.
