CSS doesn't define any particular element names - it just operates on
element names in a document tree. So a standard CSS parser will work just
as well with "line2d { ... }" as it would with "h1 { ... }".

Agreed - not all properties are standard CSS properties, so I was
suggesting borrowing SVG properties to augment the list. NB. That would
make the property controlling line width be called "stroke-width". But
whatever names we choose, a CSS parser doesn't care what the names are.
But really the issue is not so much about CSS and SVG-styling-properties -
it is whether to use existing standards or not. Clearly I'm in favour of
adopting standards. But perhaps there is another standard set of CSS
styling properties which would be a closer match to matplotlib? Perhaps CSS
is not the answer at all, and something like SLD/SE would be better? (I
suspect not! But there could easily be other technologies I'm not aware of!)

In the case of two Axes, the CSS version would be:
Axes#axes1 {
border: 1px solid black;
}
Axes#axes2 {
border: 2px dashed green;
}
