Well, "unicode-range: a z;", given his suggested grammar. (Again, don't try and invent microsyntaxes using dashes. They parse weird.) > I’m not sure what’s the point. Saving a few characters? It’s not used frequently enough that this would yield significant savings. Eh, I use the same thing for @counter-style. It reads nicely. But granted, it's not quite as important here, where you're less likely to get 26 strings in a row. > Furthermore, allowing idents makes it more difficult to add predetermined character classes in the future, e.g. unicode-range: basic-latin, greek; Not if they're defined to only be single-character. Then multi-character keywords would still be available for the language to use. ~TJ
