Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade-7] Should rule identifiers allow quoted strings, or simply <ident>? (#12005)

The Houdini Task Force just discussed `[css-cascade-7] Should rule identifiers allow quoted strings, or simply <ident>?`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: no don't allow it`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;alisonmaher> TabAtkins: should sheet names allow strings<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...don't follow keyframes<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...font-face allows but only some and it is weird<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> ...in general answer should be no, should be ident<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> emilio: the other place we allow it are attribute selectors<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> PROPOSED: no don't allow it<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> emilio: attribute selectors allow both, lang, and a couple others<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> fantasai: there are some places that allow identifiers because quoting is annoying<br>
&lt;alisonmaher> RESOLVED: no don't allow it<br>
</details>
