Dead CSS code should ideally be a warning on the web platform. This should be in the spec. Browser can probably emit a warning in the console log if there are CSS selectors that are not used. Authors can choose to explicitly mark with a `ignore-unused`, delete them or move such selectors to separate style-sheets that are loaded by the pages that actually use them. With HTTP/3 this makes more sense (CSS modularization) rather than one single massive CSS for the whole site that just keeps growing over time.
