Description

Presently, the spec says:

safe-area-inset-top <length> 0 (scalar)
etc...

I don't think that a length is dimensionless, lengths have a single dimension.

Research direction

Start by locating the CSS Environment Variables Level 1 specification section that lists the safe-area-inset-* variables and compare its type and initial-value notation with the referenced CSS Values 4 length definition. Done means the specification no longer describes these length values as dimensionless and the related entries use consistent terminology.
