Hmm... can you point out to them that there's a similarity between using an external style sheet and using header/footer includes? And that as a coder, it would be your responsibility to maintain these include files, not theirs? Personally, I think .css external style sheets are awesome -- there's no reason I can see that they couldn't continue to use them. You don't need control over the .css file, and it would be easy for you to do
<style>
<?php
echo "$stylesheet"
?>
</style>
in the include header, which gives them control over the contents of the <style> tag (obviously they have to know how to use
<?php
$stylesheet = "<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css" />" ;
?>
and put this before the include() call). Using this technique, they don't even have to limit themselves to a single external style sheet or even external style sheets at all -- they could make it a document-level style sheet.
This way you each can reach a compromise about control. Just a suggestion.

They sound like good ideas, with one quisp.. the sites are currently being designed in *shudder* Dreamweaver. They absolutely refuse to chop files up into header/footer includes, and they want to be able to do all their colour customisation through their beloved .css files. Mike
