I'm of the opinion that CSS actually has more in common with logic-based programming languages (like Prolog, or more specifically ones based on defeasible logic) than with ordinary languages of the "imperative" or "functional" sort. I think that reading CSS with this in mind helps make sense of some of CSS's features (e.g. specificity, the way selectors work).
