Did you want to nominate this for the Fx155 relnotes? If so, set the relnote-firefox flag to "?" --

Possible wording:

The CSS attr() function now supports types beyond strings, letting authors use attribute values in any property.

Release Note Request
Fx155

[Why is this notable]:
Now authors have a css-native way to use dom attributes as css values for any css property (instead of just the content property). This extends the attr() function to now work with types beyond strings.

[Affects Firefox for Android]:
Yes, the same behaviour is implemented.

[Suggested wording]:
The CSS attr() function now supports values of any type, letting authors use attribute values in any property as opposed to just strings in the content property for the old attr() function.
