As Ian said, it's a neat idea but it adds a new dependency from
selectors to values. And that's quite a bad one IMHO:
div:depth(divdepth, 3) { depth-weight: divdepth 1; }
K-boom...
Even if you solve that saying that depth-weight property cannot be used
if the :depth() functional notation is used in the selector part, you'll
still have to resolve depth-weight declarations in a first step before all
other declarations:
div { depth-weight: divdepth 1; }
div:depth(divdepth, 3) { color: red }
