" summary

Proposes concrete monetization: create paperwork or a governing body that gates use of !important, charge for z‑index layers so higher stacks cost more, inject searchable class names for SEO attribution, and even put JavaScript inside CSS parsed by a backend (mentions PHP prototype though the demo is nonfunctional). Argues for using character entities instead of CSS triangles, jokes about renaming the language, and claims these changes generate jobs and revenue.
