Description

So, the question is should https://drafts.css-houdini.org/css-typed-om-1/ support the same simplifications (like distributing multiplication over sum and sorting the dimensions alphabetically) as css-values-4? Like https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#calc-simplification and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-values-4/#sort-a-calculations-children?
