At least for XML, EXI is best with a tightly constrained vocabulary in terms of content models, attributes, and attribute values. The efficiency drops as soon as new values, attributes, or elements are added. I guess the same would be true for a binary representation of a CSS stylesheet; it would need a complete list of property names, and the list of property values for each (plus at rules). Given the rate at which CSS changes, this would seem to call for _weekly_ updates to the binary format. A binary serialization of CSSOM could be interesting, but includes all the properties and values on each node. Selectors plus the cascade and inheritance are effectively a compression step, compared to explicitly listing for all nodes. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3334#issuecomment-453092032 using your GitHub account
