Roman Komarov provides us with a clever technique – which involves using CSS Custom Properties, calc(), and some binary logic – to implementing this type of conditions on a per CSS …

Since about a week ago, the first part of the implementation has landed into the Canary builds: Adds calc expressions to CSSPrimitiveValue. This enables simple (ie no mixing of percents with numbers/lengths) expressions to be evaluated on most properties. No mixing yet, but …
