Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-nesting] Problem with mixing properties and selectors (#8249)

> 1. We remove the lookahead restrictions on the parser and 'simply' adopt the SASS syntax… I'd like to see some experimentation and real-world data to check that assumption and see if advancements in processor speed and RAM availability allow us to relax that.

I believe _everyone_ agrees that removing the lookahead restrictions on the parser and adopting SASS-style syntax would be ideal. This is not something for which we can debate the pros and cons. It's all pros. 

Implementation experience is the only path forward to find out whether or not if this is a viable alternative. The teams currently implementing CSS Nesting need to try it, test performance, and see what happens. To attempt to figure out a way to make it fast. If so — fantastic, decision made. If not, well, decision made.

I know folks are already working to see such implementation experience happen. Meanwhile, we should discuss what to do if removing the lookahead restrictions is not a viable solution.
