Dear CSS Working Group, a while back [1] (and despite later concerns [2]) I brought up the idea to introduce selector variables (as in “.foo = .bar”). I elaborated on them in a follow-up post [3]. Admittedly I’ve lost track of anything that might have come out of this but like to learn whether there are any considerations to add such a feature, or to allow any of the various variable suggestions [4] to cover selectors too? >From my experience especially with large-scale projects selector variables may be able to improve the maintainability of web sites and applications, particularly in the realm of refactorings. If we are about to introduce variables at all, that is. Thank you, Jens.
