Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] A way to dynamically construct custom-ident and dashed-ident values (#9141)

Can be `id`, `data-*`, and any custom-element observed attribute. But seeing where we landed in #5092 this might not be necessary.

There is no issue with the `value` attribute - it doesn't expose the value entered by the user (only the default value). I think actually `nonce` is the only sensitive attribute ATM.

I don't think that's necessary. These subtle restrictions are going to make this feature more difficult to use.
