Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-nesting-1] Can we relax the syntax further? (#7961)

No, "just look for a terminating `;` or `{}`" doesn't work - there are legitimately ambiguous cases *today* (custom properties), and depending on what future syntax changes we add, there may be more. So the rules do need to be set.  They're still potentially *changeable*, so long as we're only making previously-invalid things valid, and subject to compat, but they need a stable definition to start from that categorizes the actual ambiguous cases (in addition to the cases that are eventually-unambiguous).
