If it was an easy refactoring it would have been done long time ago. :)

I think this should be done in steps, something like this:

1) rename StyleBuilder -> DeprecatedStyleBuilder
2) create new StyleBuilder (it forwards to DeprecatedStyleBuilder for properties that are still implemented there) 
3) move the giant switch and the related functions from StyleResolver to StyleBuilder
4) move individual properties from DeprecatedStyleBuilder to StyleBuilder until nothing remains
5) delete DeprecatedStyleBuilder

We'll have DeprecatedStyleBuilder and the new StyleBuilder side by side for a while and can verify it is actually better.
