<quote> IMHO, such css-variables are simpler to "define and comprehend", then the proposed "--*" / "var()", and do not open gates to "programming", e.g. conditional behavior other then "cascading". The original proposal does allow for "if (x > 5) this.width = 10", which I think is simply wrong. </quote> Many seem afraid of this programming in CSS. Personally I would like CSS to break out of it's document, style, logic prison in which it is only allowed to do the style part. And have CSS embrace the model-view-controller architecture in which it may do the view part. So you can have XML, JSON or whatever be the model, have CSS be the view and have javascript or whatever be the controller. I think this would be a natural next step for CSS to evolve to. -- Dave Kok
