I seriously though about it, but not sure if it is good way.

- So we still have to deliver some basic set of styles still.
- People prefer prefabricate solution with simply activation now - so
customization use only a few people
- buitin style requires about 110 bytes and it is safe and verified,
dynamic styling requires some parser, maybe some other checks

So for this use case I prefer very primitive (and simple) design as was
proposed.
