Interoperable CSS
summary
A new CSS file format called Interoperable CSS adds import/export tokens to CSS, compiles each file into CSS plus JS, and is supported by default in Webpack & JSPM with plugins for Browserify. It powers CSS Modules that emit unique-hash class names, export mappings into JS, and enable multi-file composition so components get isolation and reuse without global leakage. The ecosystem leverage already exists—npm grows to 175,000 packages—and the approach interoperates with Sass while changing how styles are authored and bundled.
