Cascading Layers of !mportance
summary
Claims that cascade layers are shipping and useful: browsers support them since 2022 and the practical tool is the @layer rule with optional names. Layers contain specificity so layers override each other (order based on where names are introduced), nested and imported sheets preserve layer hierarchy, and anything left unlayered styles win over layered ones. Recommended workflow: declare layer order in the head, import dependencies into low layers first, migrate project styles into layers, and use !important only to protect low‑level guarantees.
