[As it turns out](https://tabatkins.github.io/specs/css-nesting/), "naked" nesting like that has grammar problems, which Sass and other langs are okay with swallowing, but the browsers aren't. (Specifically, you can't tell apart arbitrary selectors and properties in a finite number of tokens; theoretically you have to read forward forever until you run into something disambiguating the two.) In general, Houdini isn't about adding new features to CSS, but rather making CSS extensible, so that authors can add the features themselves (and show us what needs to be added to the core language). There are some Houdini features that might help in this regard; in particular, custom at-rules (letting people define a `@--nest` rule) would work. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts/issues/333#issuecomment-262065198 using your GitHub account
