Re: [css-houdini-drafts] [css-properties-values-api] is initialValue required when syntax is not "*"?

That doesn't work, because then you're no longer guaranteed that the value you get when you ask for the property will match the specified syntax.  Like, a property specified to be a `<color>` might not return a color when you asked for the computed value.

It's also *most likely* an authoring error, just accidentally leaving off the initial value.  If we do think allowing it is important, we can fold it into expansions to allowed syntax in the future.
