Given the alternative between using this and defining what the serialization format is for every single CSS property, however, I understand why Anne would prefer the former :) But since browsers never paid attention to syntax definitions to define their serialization, and since syntax definitions were never written with serialization in mind (afaik) it's no surprise neither other modules or implementations are up to this. I think of this clause as a placeholder, really.
