I know this was a very small portion of the article, but I just want to say object-oriented CSS is a terrible name for what should be described simply as CSS that follows the DRY principle.
Regarding OOP, Wikipedia describes it in this way:
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm that uses “objects” – data structures consisting of datafields and methods together with their interactions – to design applications and computer programs. Programming techniques may include features such as information hiding, data abstraction, encapsulation, modularity, polymorphism, and inheritance. It was not commonly used in mainstream software application development until the early 1990s.[citation needed] Many modern programming languages now support OOP.
Now, last time I checked, CSS is not passing “objects” anywhere. It is applying styles to HTML elements based upon rules. Just want to throw that out there. Again, I know it was not the point of your article, so please pardon my little tangent.
