If I'm correct his point seems to be that
.some {
var-x: inherit;
}
is being affected by the [[6.1.2 Interitance]] paragraph of CSS 2.1 so that
the computed value of the 'var-x' property on the '.some' elements will
actually inherit the value of the parent, and this will affect the children
element as well as it's the computed value which is inherited and not the
specified/resolved one. If I'm not mistaken, we need to state explicitely
that the only algorithm impacting the computed value of custom properties is
the reference resolution algorithm, whatever other specifications may say
(ie: 'vw' aren't computed in 'px', inherit isn't subsituted by the value on
the parent, etc).

Subject: Re: [CSS-Variables] Suggestion of change to time of substitution
So, it seems like the problem you have is that you'd like to be able
to have a variable resolve to the same thing as 'inherit' would. Is
this correct?
