[webkit-dev] Feature removal: CSS variables

[Alan Stearns]

Andreas,

Don't take the ranking in that poll as an indicator. There's no way to
compare interest in Variables against the other specifications, as it was
omitted from the original poll and the only data points are from
write-ins. That's what the gray styling means in the page you linked.

I have no strong opinion on your implementation and syntax concerns.

Thanks,

Alan
