I think he's suggesting parsing and rewriting the CSS files - treating them as INI files. Personally, I think XSLT os overkill for this, but then I think it's a pig's ear fullstop. Write a script that opens your CSS file, parses the current CSS settings out of it, and displays them as a form. The user then updates and submits new values, and the script writes the new values the the CSS file. I'd bet money that a PHP class for reading and writing CSS files already exists, too.
