css-expressions shouldn't be a synonym of css.
Dynamic properties (CSS expressions) have more to do with JavaScript than CSS.
By the way how do you vote the reversal? Is it only available to moderators?

I never really understood why that one was synonymized...– animuson StaffModApr 29, 2012 at 0:14

Probably because people don't understand the difference between the two. "Expressions" is a very generic term.– CharlesApr 29, 2012 at 1:44

@charles I guess the voting threshold (5+) is sometimes too low for popular tags.– KnuApr 29, 2012 at 1:49

I removed the synonym. Unfortunately the two tags had been merged at some point, and there's no way to reverse that. The css-expressions tag will have to be added manually to any question where it applies.

@Knu That's weird, you have plenty of reputation to create a new tag. Which question? Also,
css-expressionsis not redirecting for me. Apr 29, 2012 at 2:14 -
I will use "css-expression" instead and then add the plural as a synonym.– KnuApr 29, 2012 at 2:16

@Knu I just created
css-expressions. See if you can use it now. Apr 29, 2012 at 2:17 -
@Knu Can you see that the tag was created now, and that it no longer maps to
css? Unfortunately I don't know much about how tag synonyms are implemented, so I don't know if this is a caching issue or what. Have you tried restarting your browser, or switching to FF? Apr 29, 2012 at 2:24 -
You should try yourself: try to tag this question. edit: OK I have no idea how you did that: it's not working here.– KnuApr 29, 2012 at 2:27

@Knu When I click on the
css-expressionstag it doesn't go to thecsspage anymore, it goes to the page listing the two questions I retagged. Mod rights don't override synonym mappings. If I try to use a synonymized tag, it gets replaced. Apr 29, 2012 at 2:36 -
It must be caching then.
[css-expressions]still redirects me to[css].– DennisApr 29, 2012 at 2:37 -

@Knu: As far as my limited knowledge about these things goes, just a different CDN endpoint. If this is a caching issue, it should correct itself soonish.– DennisApr 29, 2012 at 2:44

I just checked, and we now have both [css-expressions] and [css-expression]. Two distinct tags, neither synonyms of one another nor of [css]. Personally I'd go with [css-expressions] as Microsoft informally calls them (formally [dynamic-properties]), rather than the function name
expression()itself... Apr 29, 2012 at 3:14 -
(Also makes it consistent with the other [css-*] tags even though this one's non-standard, just because...) Apr 29, 2012 at 3:21
