Re: [css-houdini-drafts] TypedOM returning an array of strings isn't a helpful behavior

Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by it?  You're doing 
pure-JS animation-by-hand?  Why not just use normal animations, or 
more variables?

Cool, that's an argument more for giving you access to a generic 
parser, which we agree we want to do. I don't think it's appropriate 
to try and solve this need *in the OM structure for var-containing 
values*, tho - this is a broader request that you'll also have for 
plain strings.
