Hi, in the CSS Values spec [1] we could find the following sentence: "This generic data type is denoted by <custom-ident>, and represents any valid CSS identifier that would not be misinterpreted as a pre-defined keyword in that property’s value definition." But a few lines later it says: "Specifications using <custom-ident> must specify clearly what other keywords are excluded from <custom-ident>, if any—for example by saying that any pre-defined keywords in that property’s value definition are excluded." For example in the case of the CSS Grid Layout spec, it's not specified which keywords are excluded in the different properties that use <custom-ident> (for example the track sizing properties [2]). However, in a previous thread [3] Tab said that "minmax", "auto" and "subgrid" were not valid <custom-ident>. The question is if the CSS Grid Layout spec needs to be updated to specify the excluded keywords. Or the 2nd sentence above from the CSS Values spec needs to be removed/reworded. Thanks, Rego [1] https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-3/#custom-idents [2] https://drafts.csswg.org/css-grid/#track-sizing [3] https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Feb/0761.html
