Proposal: Importable Constructable Stylesheets

We're getting Constructable Stylesheets. This seems like an intuitive value to obtain when importing CSS from JavaScript, since it's the DOM's representation of a Stylesheet:

import stylesheet from './style.css';
console.log(stylesheet);  // CSSStyleSheet

No such system is in place to allow this to work (see [whatwg/loader]), however frontend build tooling has congregated around this approach as a mechanism for bringing CSS assets into the JavaScript module graph. There are many benefits to be obtained from moving CSS into this graph, however the most important is that imported CSS can be attributed to the consuming JS Module. This allows it to be bundled, optimized, and potentially dead-code-eliminated leveraging static analysis performed on the surrounding module graph.

The State of Container Queries

tl;dr Developers would like the idea to style components based on a parent's width rather than depend solely on the viewport media query. This would allow modular components to style themselves while being agnostic to the viewport.

There is currently a lot of developer interest in getting a feature like Container Queries (née "Element Queryies") shipped in a browser.
