Kinda. When I change the spec to explicitly define the value-space,
unrestricted DELIM tokens won't be allowed. However, var references
can be - they're expanded at computed-value time (the only thing
that's ever "resolved" in a variable before it's used in a property).

No, they can only be used as component values right now, so they can't
be used within strings. That's an interesting use-case, though.
