Hi fantasai, I wonder about your thoughts on the parse-time process that does the variable replacements; I guess it builds up some kind of translation map with variable names and values that it uses while parsing files, but do you envision this map being thrown away or kept after parsing is complete? Consider if a new style sheet is loaded by script through CSSOM, and it should have variables replaced, then I guess it would be most convenient to have kept the translation map. Otherwise it could be a complex process to reload all preceeding style sheets to recreate any variables. So UAs would in practice need to maintain a map of all variables and values during a page's lifetime even though this is a parse-time solution, right? Best regards Mike Wilson
