FYI, the work that Thomas has done on this is useful to look at his 
"Bricks" plugin. https://tid.li/tw5/test/bricks.html

It (1) chunks the monolith; (2) pretty much conforms the rules to a 
standard existing library (http://tachyons.io/); (3) provides a mechanism 
for generation.

There IS the issue of specific CSS rules that are dynamically modified in 
TW that you have to take into account. But overall his approach is a very 
useful and I think illustrates what may be needed ...

   - A - chunking


   - B - some kind of interface/toolkit for easier working with the chunked 
   CSS.

Thomas' work goes a good way towards that I think.

Finally, one thing I want to *strongly emphasise*, and very much in TW's 
favour, is that its core CSS is very consistent. Thanks to JR. In that 
sense it CAN be chunked in a reliable way. Compared to many sites its 
really good logically.

Best wishes
Josiah
