I still don't really get the need for CSS at all, other than historical implementation decisions from a different time. So my intuition is that there isn't a perfect solution to using CSS, probably we would have to create a new authoring system that doesn't need it.

You don't get the need for CSS? How do you make your website's look nice? I'd be interested to see an example..

Well obviously you need CSS now, but what I mean is that if you designed a system for creating modern sites and apps from scratch you probably wouldn't implement CSS. So debating the optimum approach to using CSS as we have it is a bit redundant because there isn't an optimum. It's doing a job it wasn't really designed for.
