Hello CSS,

I am forwarding the following issue on:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables-1/


This issue is a personal comment, as the I18N WG has not had an opportunity to consider it yet.

Section 2.1

<quote>
The values of custom properties, and the values of var() functions substituted into custom properties, are case-sensitive, and must be preserved in their original author-given casing. (Many CSS values are case-insensitive, which user agents can take advantage of by "canonicalizing" them into a single casing, but that isn’t allowed for custom properties.)

As with I18N-ISSUE-352 the relationship of string identity matching for other textual variations (such as normalization form) should possibly be mentioned.

Internationalization is not a feature.
It is an architecture.
