Once again, I remind people to read the spec: <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-variables/>. The stuff on the LHS, the properties, are already called "Custom Properties". The spec's title is "Custom Properties for Cascading Variables". The term "variable" is only used for the value on the RHS, the var() function. It would be awesome if people would stop suggesting I make changes that have been in the specs for months. :/ (No offense, Liam - you came in when I was already annoyed. ^_^) Note, though, that CSS's custom properties *are* like the programming community's use of the word (insofar as anything in a declarative language is like the programming community's use of a word). ~TJ
