Do you have a usecase, though? The WG shoots down ideas on a regular basis that are technically possible but unlikely to be used.
We could still introduce subsubproperties in a later level nevertheless:
fo(n|rma)t true false parent
font-variant-ligatures-common: _auto_ | normal | none | inherit
font-variant-ligatures-contextual: _auto_ | normal | none | inherit
font-variant-ligatures-discretionary: auto | normal | _none_ | inherit
font-variant-ligatures-historical: auto | normal | _none_ | inherit
font-variant-ligatures-required: auto | _normal_ | none | inherit
(Underscores mark initial value.)
