Bad idea?! What? It’s absurd that CSS didn’t have variables until now. The markup is far too redundant and basic, and is the reason that compilers like SASS exist.

At first, this looked like a bad idea. But then, I thought, this would give a lot of flexibility.

Hopefully, IE9 will support a lot of CSS3 (and we wont have to wait for IE14).

This is a really bad idea, because well written css shouldn’t need variables, it would be just a way to make people write bad css and still manage it easily!

@Tim Right – you are aware that you can achive exactly the same effect with server-side variables with very little effort, right?

This will be such a valuable feature, I just hope it doesn’t take 10 years for browsers to catch up.

@Neal G – From the spec- “This document may be updated based on implementation experience, but no commitment is made by the authors regarding future updates. Authors would like the proposals contained in this document to be discussed in the CSS Working Group for open standardization under W3C Process.”

Eh, just property values.
Well, better that than nothing.
But I would really love to see sth like

SomeBigAssSelector = #saf > sagsg + asg + sxz > xvv > sagsg:first-child + sag + xzxb.sfsf > ggs35 > asggs + sgasg35

SomeBigAssSelector {
color: red;
}
SomeBigAssSelector:hover {
color: green;
}
