Specification
https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-properties-values-api-1/#syntax-strings

Summary

Supports using the <image> syntax for custom properties registered with
@property or registerProperty(). The <image> syntax can be used to restrict
values of the custom property to url() values and generated images like
gradients.


This syntax was initially excluded from the valid syntaxes mainly because
images were not interpolable and that it would add to the usefulness of the
syntax to be able to interpolate directly on the custom property. The other
engines have shipped the image syntax without supporting interpolation.
There are two interpolation methods in css-image-4, cross-fade() and per
stop interpolation for gradients. The gradient interpolation is not shipped
by any browser (even for standard properties). Safari ships a non-standard
compliant cross-fade() interpolation for standard properties (at least for
background-image), but not for the registered custom properties.


We have an OKR to look into cross-fade() for Q4. If we end up shipping
that, it will work for both registered custom properties and standard
properties.


The <image> syntax for registered custom properties is part of Interop 2023.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
