So this is apparently causing the hold up:

One thing that may not be obvious from the outside: browser developers are not necessarily very good web developers. Speaking personally, I understand what the attr() extensions in CSS3 Values do, but I haven’t ever encountered a situation where I needed them for something.

But here’s something constructive you could do: write an essay, on your own blog or similar venue, in which you demonstrate that this is a valuable thing to have.

I was looking into this function because I thought it could make a checkbox hack CSS slider a lot more efficient, without all the repetition.

If you can think of any other special use cases, let’s hear it!
