OK. But ::inside/::outside seems like an understandable solution to some
use cases mentioned in ISSUE 177[1]. For example, it seems that the use
case described in [2]

#demo {
  transform: scale(2);
}
#demo.state-1 {
  transform: scale(2) roate(45deg);
}
#demo.state-2 {
  transfrom: scale(2) rotate(90deg);
}

could be shortened into

#demo {
  transform: scale(2);
}
#demo.state-1::inside {
  transform: rotate(45deg);
}
#demo.state-2::inside {
  trasnform: rotate(90deg);
}.

Does this look like a possible solution? Will Shadow DOM / XBL cover
this use case?
