It seems like we've come full circle by reimplementing JSSS, Netscape's disused Javscript Style Sheets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JavaScript_Style_Sheets).
JSSS failed as a practical competitor to CSS, which would be better if only we could generate it via javascript.
