[csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position] position-area specified vs. computed value is weird (#12759)

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

== [css-anchor-position] position-area specified vs. computed value is weird ==
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-position/#position-area-computed mentions that the computed value is just basically a simplification on the specified value.

It seems this simplification can be applied at parse-time, which doesn't depend on any computed-value-time information. If so, what's the reason not to do that at parse time instead?
