The problem here is that the MQ specification does not say what > it means by "<length>", and that's what should be fixed. The CSS3 Values spec should specify that attr() can only be used inside a normal ruleset's declaration block--one whose declarations apply to a document element or document element's pseudo-element. E.g. it can't be used in media queries and it can't be used in the @page declaration. ~fantasai
