Once upon a time, I sent out an email suggesting a feature like this, only to find out that it was already being considered. I can’t wait for this.

calc() would be great. How many times I already wanted to use something similar. The usage of variables also has a lot of potential but can be solved server side for the moment.

calc() would be absolutely brilliant! I’ve been wanting that for ages.

Variables (or constants probably) would also be nice, but not just for storing colour-values but entire layouts.

$cool-box {
border: 1px solid red;
background: green;
padding: 10px;
}
$cool-box > h2:first-child {
margin: -10px -10px 10px -10px;
padding: 10px;
border-bottom: 1px solid red;
}

#recent-articles = $cool-box;

Something like that perhaps…

I’d also like variables in CSS; imagine:

$red { #f00; }

strong { color: $red; border-color: $red; }
