Any serious CSS tooling should have already built in pairing of parens, brackets, and braces. This is a core piece of CSS's forwards-compatible parsing rules, and it's needed for correct error-handling and for correct error-highlighting. What specific tools are so naive as to choke on this, and is the breakage really so bad that we need to alter core CSS to compensate? Fwiw, I'm very strongly against any syntax that requires wrapping in parentheses or brackets, this is just very noisy and annoying, and if it's optional it's also confusing. If we're picking a different delimiter, it needs to be one that can function like a comma. (And for that purpose, semicolon is the most natural one to use: it is effectively defined as a stronger comma in natural language usage, and in CSS it is guaranteed to not cause a syntactic conflict in the future.) -- GitHub Notification of comment by fantasai Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/6705#issuecomment-1151607800 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
