In the CSS Fonts Module [1] (yet this may affect more CSS drafts) I suggest to “not repeat yourself” [2] in property values. For example, “font-variant-ligatures” currently envisions values like “common-ligatures” or “additional-ligatures”. Naming them “common” or “additional” would be shorter and hence easier to remember while not being any harder to understand (“ligatures” is already part of the property name). The same applies at least to “font-variant-numeric” which might benefit from the values “lining”, “old[style]”, “proportonial”, and “tabular” instead of “lining-nums” etc. [1] http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/ [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself -- Jens O.
