Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values-4] Simplification changes semantics (#9437)

Many details of float handling can change things that depend on precise integers and non-dyadic rationals. Distribution can, sure, but just *addition* can result in things not adding up to exactly what you'd expect. CSS doesn't even specify the float size; pure numbers will probably be doubles, but impls use fixed point for lengths (with different bases!), so even trivial values can trigger browser differences.

The overall conclusion is just that CSS math is very rarely that dependent on exact results.
