Cascade Layer Partition

Kind: algorithm

Record: algorithms:cascade-layer-partition

Canonical: Algorithms

Closure: Dependencies in load order

Declare one ordered set of named cascade layers once at the stylesheet root, assign every rule to exactly one layer, and let layer order — not selector specificity nor source order — decide precedence, so values, appearance, placement, and assembly can never fight for the same declaration.
