Mostly my original comment above was in relation to someone's response
where they said they had defined a whole stack of variables for each
file (eg. $fontMain, $fontCopyright and so on) and my point was
specifically in relation to that. Certainly, for layout and other
aspects a style sheet is not the whole solution but when it comes to
display elements such as fonts and colours I'd have to say that it _IS_
the solution.
