In theory, this can work (just add a bunch of CSS tokens to a javafx.css.Declaration). The problem is that you can't do anything with a Stylesheet, there's no API for you to set it on a Scene or a Parent. This would most likely be a separate enhancement and not part of the CSS parser rework. > > Sorry for pointing out the obvious, the testing might represent overwhelming > portion of the overall effort.

I agree, it will need to be well-tested.
