CSS Architecture and WordPress

  • I have been reading Harry Roberts, among others, on the subject of CSS architecture. See for example the excellent guidelines here:
    https://cssguidelin.es
    https://maintainablecss.com

    While there are a variety of approaches, there is consensus by those writing on this topic that one should aim for flat specificity – i.e. everything having the same level of specificity. Basically they all agree to have

    .someclass {
  whatever;
}

    rather than for instance 

    .someclass a {

}

    Basically always aim to just use a class rather than mounting on extra specificity.
    Relying only on body_class() and post_class() classes makes this approach impossible.

    Does anyone have any comments about CSS architecture in general and WP?
