CSS variable values are trimmed of whitespace [according to spec]?

> Return undefined for whitespace-only CSS variable values

I've gotten in the bad habit using of CSS vars for dynamic text, this will shoot me in the foot some day.

Setting the `content` of a pseudo-element (like :before) to a variable with a text value (--sale-text: '50% off!').

I update the value of `--sale-text` to change all elements with that given classname to "25% off!" instead (for ex).
