Re: [css-variables] CSS Variables are a NEW kind of variable

I think it will just add to the confusion. Let's keep one specification, one 
name for a single feature.

If the spec editor dislike a proposal so much it don't want to maintain the 
spec if the change is done, we've got a problem we need to address another 
way than to fork a specification. I'm admirative of Tab's work and I 
seriously don't think he would refuse a change if it was accepted by the 
majority as a better idea.

Initial intent of this thread was to be editorial (unlike the 'Putting it

However, the [css-variables] threads are so mangled toegether that I would 
not assume that follow-up messages (even from myself) preserved the intent.
