[css-typed-om] structuredClone for typed-om objects #1101

@DevSDK

Description

@DevSDK

"structuredClone can’t deal with CSSUnitValue objects" issue is filed on crbug [1].

Currently, the css-typed-om spec[2] does not mark the [Serializable] attribute for typed-om objects.
Consequently, these objects are not contained in the platform objects that can be serializable according to the HTML spec [3].

So the browsers comply with that spec that throws an exception.
However, the following codes look very natural:

Given this, browsers appropriately throw an exception to comply with the spec.
However, consider the following code:

structuredClone(CSS.px(2))

This looks quite intuitive and straightforward.

If there is no extra context that I missed, could we consider supporting it?
