The [initial syntax proposal](https://gist.github.com/mirisuzanne/4224caca74a0d4be33a2b565df34b9e7#what-is-the-migration-path-for-cascade-layers-4985) provides a path for polyfilling the proposed layer behavior with selectors:
> Since this proposal defines Cascade Layers directly above Specificity in the cascade, but below inline style attributes, it should be possible to polyfill the entire feature using ID tags to boost specificity. Most simply stated:
>
> ```css
> #reset a { /* reset layer */ }
> #base#base a { /* base layer */ }
> #components#components#components a { /* component layer */ }
> ```
>
> In order to avoid requiring a match with ID attributes in the HTML, that specificity can be generated using the `:is()` pseudo-class:
>
> ```css
> :is(#r, a) { /* reset layer */ }
> :is(#b#b, a) { /* base layer */ }
> :is(#c#c#c, a) { /* component layer */ }
> ```
>
> The reality will require some additional finesse to avoid conflicts with existing ID selectors, but those details can be left to individual polyfills.
