I think the proposal is very interesting in its use of the :root pseudo-class, but allowing a styleset to descend arbitrarily down the markup means that putting a styleset rule into one block can have difficult-to-predict results on later selector blocks, unless you've completely internalized all the 'classes' you're working with. The standard variable proposals limit the effect of a variable to only the block it shows up in (plus inheritance, of course, but that's standard). ~TJ
