Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-values] Proposal: new `presentational` global value to revert a property to use presentational hints if any, otherwise behave like `revert` (#13213)

That's probably the one. I think we'd potentially want these options… 

- `revert-layer(<integer>)` - number of layers to revert
- `revert-layer(<name>)` - revert all layers above and including the named layer
- `revert-layer(to <name>)` - revert all layers above, so we get the value from the named layer
- `revert-layer(<something-that-gets-us-hints>)` - what this feature is about

If we're ever allowing named layers in this function, we have potential conflict with custom idents – so we might want to use a reserved name like `initial` rather than `all`? Or we need some other way to distinguish the syntax, because `all` is a valid layer name.
