What exactly does "style engine" encompass? Just CSS parsing and style properties, or layout stuff, or something in between?

Parsing CSS, the selector matching to apply style rules to nodes, and the cascade of properties to other nodes.

Servo's style engine is parallelized and scales nearly linearly with number of cores, and style time is a non-trivial amount of the total rendering time.
