There are two references to the term "component value" that have crept back in to the css-variables editor's draft since the last working draft. I thought we'd agreed (multiple times, I think) that this wasn't the approach we were taking. Instead, we are using token stream substitution, because it is possible to describe in a way that can lead to interoperable implementations without all-but-one of the implementations having to rewrite. In particular, I'd suggest replacing: # A variable can be used in place of any component value in any # property on an element. with: # A variable can be used in place of any part of a value in any # property on an element. and replacing: # Similarly, you can't build up a single component value where # part of it is provided by a variable: with: # Similarly, you can't build up a single token where part of it is # provided by a variable: -David -- 𝄞 L.
