Hahah yeah this was kind of a flippant thought experiment!

I was thinking a little more along the lines of changing the semantics. So, instead of saying “border-radius: 50%” you’d say something like “round the edges like a circle” or “round-like: circle”

Basically providing an abstraction for things that feels more intuitive, even if it costs some flexibility

Oh yeah I totally get you, something more readable, eventually closer to the natural language. I feel a preprocessor would fill this need, to offer the flexibility to choose readability over customization. Maybe a new tool, maybe add-ons for an existing preprocessor?
