@romainmenke, thank you. My motivating use case involves a new markup language and corresponding object model that I am working on for interacting with multiple finite-state automata. It is inspired by [SCXML](https://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/) and will support both styling and scripting.
To some HTML-related scenarios, one example of where it might be (or might once have been) convenient to have this expressiveness is the box model:
```css
div {
margin: { top: 10px; right: 10px; bottom: 10px; left: 10px; };
border: { top: 1px solid blue; right: 1px solid blue; bottom: 1px solid blue; left: 1px solid blue; };
padding: { top: 10px; right: 10px; bottom: 10px; left: 10px; };
}
```
Another example involves fonts:
```css
span {
font: { family: sans serif; size: 12pt; style: normal; weight: bold; };
}
```
Strings and objects are both useful and versatile. I will brainstorm on some more concrete examples.
