summary
Argues the cascade is useful but remove !important solves the worst wars, proposes native reusable rule sets (Sass-style functions compiled into CSS) so markup keeps one class while styles are shared, points to CSS4 scope selectors plus all:initial for local reset, notes CSS variables and scope already land in Firefox and Chrome, and flags the Houdini APIs as the low-level tool that makes custom styling engines practical.
