I'm afraid it is just a difficult task.
I'm not sure what more can be said.

We are doing our best to try and reduce the effort but at this moment it
is not the highest priority (and has never been part of our charter to
provide
such a capability) but we have tried to partition the selectors in a few
stylesheets
in attempt to reduce the effort, as well as other implementation details.

It is understood that more is needed to reach this goal, but until it
has an
extremely high priority it is not going to be addressed in the near future.
