[Dev] Chandler styles

[Phillip J. Eby]

For what it's worth, PyProtocols' "dispatch" package supports doing 
CSS-like rules expressed in Python, and can include arbitrary tests like 
"if the status is important, the color is red".

It doesn't *parse* CSS, mind you, and its prioritization is based on 
logical implication rather than numerical priorities, but it basically does 
the same "find the most-specific rule that applies".  I'm doing a 
presentation on it at PyCon, if anybody's interested.
