...as opposed to storing StyleValues, which we have to later check are
IdentifierStyleValues, which store identifiers that we can convert to
Repeat values later. It's fewer allocations, and we can't end up with
invalid values by mistake. :^)
While right now this doesn't save much complexity, it will do once we
care about multiple background layers per node. Then, having a single
repeat value per layer will simplify things.
It also means we can remove the pseudo-property concept entirely! :^)
This is step 1 in removing the two `background-repeat-x/y`
pseudo-properties. Since adding the concept of compound StyleValues, we
don't need `background-repeat` to be split in two any more.
https://www.w3.org/TR/cssom/ is the more permanent home of the CSSOM
specification's latest version, and is up to date with the draft spec.
Also, https://drafts.csswg.org/ has been down multiple times recently
which made looking things up a pain.
Until now, we've internally thought of the CSS "display" property as a
single-value property. In practice, "display" is a much more complex
property that comes in a number of configurations.
The most interesting one is the two-part format that describes the
outside and inside behavior of a box. Switching our own internal
representation towards this model will allow for much cleaner
abstractions around layout and the various formatting contexts.
Note that we don't *parse* two-part "display" yet, this is only about
changing the internal representation of the property.
Spec: https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display
If the specified value for these properties is "none", we end up storing
it as an "undefined" CSS::Length in the computed values.
We need to convert it back into "none" for getComputedStyle().
There are a handful of FIXME's here, but this seems generally good.
Note that CSS *values* don't get serialized in a spec-compliant way
since we currently rely on StyleValue::to_string() which is ad-hoc.
Resolved style is a spec concept that refers to the weird mix of
computed style and used style reflected by getComputedStyle().
The purpose of this class is to produce the *computed* style for a given
element, so let's call it StyleComputer.
The original name was based on the window.getComputedStyle() API.
However, "Computed" in "getComputedStyle" is actually a misnomer that
the platform is stuck with due to backwards compatibility.
What getComputedStyle() returns is actually a mix of computed and used
values. The spec calls it the "resolved" values. So let's call this
declaration subclass "ResolvedCSSStyleDeclaration" to match.
