[css-houdini-drafts] [css-typed-om] what is "hint" in "add two types" step 3 (#1093)

gsnedders has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/css-houdini-drafts:

== [css-typed-om] what is "hint" in "add two types" step 3 ==
from https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#cssnumericvalue-add-two-types:

> If type1 and/or type2 [contain](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#map-exists) "percent" with a non-zero value, and type1 and/or type2 [contain](https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#map-exists) a key other than "percent" with a non-zero value
> For each [base type](https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#cssnumericvalue-base-type) other than "percent" hint:
> Provisionally [apply the percent hint](https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#apply-the-percent-hint) hint to both type1 and type2.

"hint" should presumably be the percent hint both types now have (from step 2), given it is styled as a variable, but I don't know how to read:

> For each base type other than "percent" ["length" | "angle" | "time" | "frequency" | "resolution" | "flex"]

Or is "hint" meant to initialise the variable there to one of those values?
