Do you know how much slower CSS would get if we were allowed to do
things like this? CSS is intended to be fast and lightweight...
loading it with expressions, variables, conditionals, etc. would take
away this key benefit.
Besides, there's a place for this kind of behavior, and it's called
scripting. The reason why we don't use it is because once again, it's
slow. Just do:
h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 { }
Which is clean, fast, and easy to work with.
