CSS logic gates

All computer languages become turing complete in time, and I suppose the time has come for CSS. Pure CSS logic gates

Not actually true that all computer languages become turing complete in time. For example, I understand that Coq and Agda can intentionally only be used to write programs that can be proven to halt. So, unless the halting problem is solved, they're not turing complete, though still useful.

I think CSS should be a less-hifalutin' instance of the same thing, ideally. Turing tarpits and all that.

Not all of them. But the http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?PrincipleOfLeastPower seldom seems to hold sway against "but it would be so useful!".
