[css-pseudo-4] Define the behavior when custom properties must be taken from the root #9279
Conversation
In w3c#6641 it was resolved that "highlight pseudos inherit across the highlight tree, and the root highlight inherits custom props from the root element". Here we add spec language to explain the behavior.

This is my first ever spec edit. And feedback is very welcome. |

I would merge this section with 3.5. Cascading and Per-Element Highlight Styles

Instead of adding this sentence, I would take this existing sentence:
Additionally, for highlight pseudo-elements originating from the root element, the inherited value of color is currentColor, not the initial value.
Split it out into a list item like this:
Additionally, for [=highlight pseudo-elements=] originating from the [=root element=]:
- the inherited value of 'color' is ''currentColor'', not the [=initial value=].
- [=custom properties=] inherit from the [=root element=].

OK. I fixed a couple of typos and made the latest requested change. Thanks again. Next up, in another PR, will be the changes about font properties from the originating element. |

@fantasai I know you must be super busy, but I think this is ready to go. |

[css-pseudo-4] Define the behavior when custom properties must be taken from the root
In #6641 it was resolved that "highlight pseudos inherit across the highlight tree, and the root highlight inherits custom props from the root element". Here we add spec language to explain the behavior, with an example.
A WPT will be added when the chromium change that implements the behavior is landed.
