CSS isolation: there has got to be a better way
CSS can be a tricky thing. I’m trying to do something
that I think should be pretty simple. Let’s say a page
contains a section (e.g. an admin panel) that must be
styled independently from the rest of the page, but
consistently and predictably. The DOM and CSS for the
main part of the page is undetermined (e.g. because it’s
part of a user-defined theme). Of course, you could use
iframes, which are about the only isolation mechanism in
HTML but we can’t do this here because iframes are quite
rigid in shape (they are rectangles), they make
scripting the DOM more difficult and they pretty much
require an additional round-trip to the server to serve
their contents.

whatever integrity I have left and fix this mess.
