The canonically ambiguous example is colors. `red` could a color (and thus returned as a CSSColor or whatever), or any other keyword in any context. `#f00` could be a color (ditto), or be a hash. I'm not super interested in trying to specify a best-effort "parse some of the values if you can" thing; it'll be (a) confusing for authors as some things get parsed and others don't, often for obscure grammar reasons (how many authors know about `nav-up`/etc?), and (b) future-hostile, as things become ambiguous or unambiguous as we change the language. (I thought 2px was ambiguous, but it's probably not; I'm continually forgetting exactly what the value space of `font-family` is. (It's just `<string> | <custom-ident>+`.)) -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/issues/193#issuecomment-221029576 using your GitHub account
