We discussed this at today's API OWNERs meeting and, while I realise I should perhaps be directing most of these comments at the CSS WG more broadly, I'm concerned that the bundle of features that this function is designed to support are not clearly articulated, which argues for an explainer and perhaps a TAG review.
Specifically: - What problems do the "variations", "palettes", and "incremental" values address? There should be clear enunciation of those issues in an explainer, a discussion of considered alternatives, and example code describing how this specfic design best meets those needs. - Related, why is "tech()" overloaded for whatever those values do as well as explict named technologies and sub-features? - Since we're going first, and the only group that seems to have looked at this is the CSS WG, shouldn't there be a TAG review? The CSS WG continues to work outside of our incubation and explainer-based model for feature development, and as a general matter it's not OK. I realise this feature is hostage to a bad work mode and it isn't the developer's of this syntax's fault, but we need to break the cycle. Future CSS features that do not incubate, center developer feedback (perhaps through OT), and show signs of incubation may also invoke delays from me.
