If you prefer, replace use(flex-length) by > use(do-not-exists-lol) and you'll see my point ;-) I don't see a use-case for being able to ask for the value of a nonsense property and provide fallback for if it doesn't exist. The existence of a property is not a dynamic thing. If the property doesn't exist, that means the UA doesn't support it at all, and you probably don't want to rely on its value. ~TJ
