The main idea is to speed up the process. The editors feel that finalizing
the specification text and obtaining closure on baseline CSSOM sans
CSS*Value will be easier than if it were included. I would hope that a
"CSSOM Values" module could proceed in parallel, possibly with additional
editorial resources if they should materialize.
