Just because we give feedback on how to make it better doesn't mean we  
don't appreciate the effort. I am a Web designer, and of course I am  
ecstatic to finally see some attention focused on CSS variables and/or  
constants. But as Dave said, "Nothing has even remotely been finalized  
about this spec", so we are also providing feedback that we hope you  
will listen to, in order to develop it into something better.

Andrew was commenting specifically on the fact that in the spec, as it  
is now, the values of the variables remain mutable, instead of just  
resolving them at loading. Is the Web designer community really  
singling that out as something they like?
