Yes, it was. The variable substitution is entirely made up, but what's worse is that almost every line of the Wikipedia page starts with "some implementations..." What I have been giving thought to is a representation using JSON, where each element is an array. The first member is a CSS selector, and subsequent members are strings and more arrays. That way you keep ordering and small size, yet can still mix text and elements.
