Yes, concrete use-cases are needed for iterable and concatenable style properties.
Brainstorming, in CSS, there are different kinds of space-delimited values. Some are shorthand syntax conventions for other properties, e.g.:
```css
margin: 10px 20px 30px 40px;
```
Others are more set-like or list-like space-delimited values:
```css
transform: rotate(45deg) scale(1.5) translateX(10px);
```
One of the abstract uses of the syntax brainstorming and ideas, above, would be to enable new functionalities with respect to set-like and list-like style properties.
Interestingly, if they could be interpreted as space-delimited strings, iterable style property values could be backwards compatible. That is, `{x, y, z, w}` could also be interpreted as: `"x y z w"`.
Set-like or list-like property values, some of these presently space-delimited, could be considered for iteration and concatenation scenarios, if these capabilities were possible in CSS.
