The main reason that this will never be implemented is that it creates too many opportunities for undesirable interactions between author stylesheets and user stylesheets. If you try to avoid the interactions by saying that the aliases apply only to the sheet that they are a part of, well then, "Congratulations! You've just re-invented the text preprocessor!" After having been on this list for some time, I can safely say this. "CSS will never support arbitrary variables, no matter what they are called, or what types of values or properties they are limited to."
