Response to: "Template" Selectors?
Alas, that's not quite what I'm getting at. I'm thinking rather of a 'style snippet' (i.e. a collection of text-formatting settings) that can be applied, in one brief statement, to any style definition anywhere in the tree. Perhaps such an ability wasn't developed because it doesn't fit within the 'cascading' concept. Maybe a better explanation would be to compare it to #define in C. Oversimplifying: Define one symbol to represent a collection of instructions at the top of the file, and use that symbol anywhere below. When the interpreter (compiler) reaches an instance of the symbol, it sees the instructions that symbol represents. That (or something similar) is what I want to do here.
