Re: [css-houdini-drafts] [css-typed-om] Can we avoid property-specific reification rules for most cases? (#1159)

If you're referring to ["reify a color value"](https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#reify-color) and similar algorithms, those are how to do it, but not *when*. For example, the `color` property is specced but doesn't call that algorithm:

> [color](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-color-4/#propdef-color)
> For both specified and computed values:
> 1. If the value is currentcolor, [reify an identifier](https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#reify-an-identifier) from the value and return the result.
> 2. Otherwise, reify as a [CSSStyleValue](https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/#cssstylevalue) and return the result.

(Nothing actually calls "reify a color value". Same for transform values, though at least WPT tests those and they are expected to be returned.)
