Re: Syntax for Ranges?

> Anyone got any suggestions/ideas?

By definition range is not a value, but set of possible values.

Questions:
1) What will be a calculated value for the height: range(18px,30em) ? What 
function is being used for final value?
2) What will happen if range become empty? E.g. in some circumstances 
range(18px,30em) is empty.

To be short:
Ranges make real sense only as a parameter of other function computing real 
value.
For example:
    height: [10%,12em, 30em]
    height: [10%%,12em, 30em]
make sense as these two denote the function of value calculation (% or %%) 
and boundaries.
