No, we can't do this; it's *inherently* dangerous, as it would be introducing new global keywords to all properties and values. New global *functions* are safe to introduce (we just have to check that they don't clash with any property-specific functions, of which there are few), but global keywords end up clashing with author-defined names in a lot of places, and require special handling in math functions (explicitly making them a `<calc-keyword>` as well). Having to use a `()` at the end of the word is not a big cost, and makes the dynamic-ness of the value clear. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13172#issuecomment-4145609271 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
