Note that I also warned: "I'm skeptical that you'll have much luck there"
(at the CSSWG), and I laid out some reasons why your proposal doesn't
currently seem compelling to us & probably won't be compelling to the CSSWG
either (though the CSSWG is who you would need to convince if you really
wanted to see this as a CSS feature):

Firefox is open source, so of course you're welcome to experiment with
adding features in your local checkout & your own builds.

But Mozilla is under no obligation to accept patches (particularly for a
nonstandard CSS feature) as part of mainline Firefox. And we're unlikely to
do in this case, for the reasons that I already laid out in my message that
I linked above.

This sort of tone is exactly what Jet was talking about, regarding
participating respectfully.  Please stop.
