| Since variable values are not explicitly typed, this falls into the

I'm unsure why the checking time is combinatorial. I've a vague idea but I
think my proposal doesn't have the problem I think about. However, I may
miss something. Could explain it to me?

Granted ;-) I'm conscient you are not forced to, but if you accept my
philosophy and try to define a broad (token stream) reference concept, you
need to encompass everything included in attribute references as well. I
think there's a clear added value to support type enforcers for attributes
so there's one for references in general. Also, this is a life saver in
cases like web components where you want to be able to specify a default
value (different from 'initial') in the case the cascaded value of a custom
property doesn't match the intended type.
width: get(host x-sidebar-width | length | 50%)
or when you want to support (for legacy reason) another format
width:
get(
host x-sidebar-width | length |
calc(
get(host x-sidebar-width | number | 0.5)
* 100%
)
)
