[css-nesting-1] Is @layer statement allowed to be nested in style rules?

[cdoublev]

The normative text does not allow it (emphasize added):

In addition to nested style rules, this specification allows nested group rules inside of style rules: any at-rule whose body contains style rules can be nested inside of a style rule as well.

However the following non-normative note links to the general @layer definition (for both block and statement @layer):

Specifically, these rules are capable of being nested group rules:

• all the conditional group rules (@media, @supports)
• @layer
• @scope
• @container

I do not see any non-contrived use of @layer statement nested in style rules but I also do not see a good reason to not allow it other than finding an appropriate term to replace nested group rules. Maybe nested conditional and cascade rules?

Note that @container is already defined as a conditional group rule:

The @container rule is a conditional group rule whose condition contains a container query [...]

I also don't see any particular reason to allow the @layer statement inside of style rules; it's just as meaningless as putting a @font-face in there. We could allow it, but there's literally zero benefit to doing so.

While the links don't distinguish between at-rules and at-statements, all the text is specifically talking about the rule form.

Ok. (Again,) I have no problem with this position but I needed it clarified. Thanks!
