CSS has one of the strangest designs in all of computing. It's simultaneously Turing-complete yet too weak to easily encode many common types of styling. It has practically no abstraction capabilities, no namespacing, and its syntax at every level (selector syntax, Unicode escaping, etc) is different from the other languages it has to interoperate with, for no apparent reason. I doubt Hypercard would have ever gotten anything like CSS. It was unlikely enough that CSS ended up anything like CSS!
