> Now then, abstraction and composition. Frankly, CSS properties have never been a place for this, beyond shorthands themselves. It’s just not a design goal at all It’s actually an anti goal; the W3C are intentionally avoiding making CSS more powerful. The rule of least power has been an explicit design principle for the World-Wide Web since the early days. If they wanted a more powerful language, they would have selected JSSS as the style language for the web, not CSS. https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Principles.html https://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Principles.html https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/leastPower.html https://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/leastPower.html
