[csswg-drafts] [css-values-4] Calc serialization links to a publicly-inaccessible discussion (#11781)

AtkinsSJ has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-values-4] Calc serialization links to a publicly-inaccessible discussion ==
At the top of the [Mathematical Expressions/Serialization](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#calc-serialize) section, we have this note:

> ISSUE 3
> This section is still [under discussion](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2016AprJun/0239.html).

(And likewise this is in the [published W3C version](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-values-4/#calc-serialize).)

There are a few issues with this, as an implementer:
- What aspects are undecided?
- Is it even still under discussion? Judging by the URL that discussion is from almost 9 years ago.
- If there are still parts of this that need ironing out, excluding non-csswg implementers (unintentionally or not) means fewer people are able to collaborate the remaining problems.

It's true that css-values-4 is in working draft status, but in practice, `calc()` has long been in common use and websites (and WPT) rely on specific serialization behaviour.
