Comment (by westonruter):
@wildworks I think I have a better approach now amended to my existing PR:
https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-develop/pull/9000
Instead of re-introducing the separate `STYLE` tag for the Customizer's
Custom CSS in the Customizer Preview just for the sake of live preview, in
my new approach I'm surrounding the Customizer's Custom CSS in CSS
comments. These are used to locate where the Customizer's Custom CSS
appears in the overall global styles so that the Customizer Preview JS
logic can surgically insert the updates into the existing inline
stylesheet.
This will ensure that the Custom CSS in the Customizer Preview will look
exactly the same as the frontend, since the CSS cascade will be the same.
