Definitely not even close to prime time, but the W3C has been thinking
about a way to do this for a few years.

The draft "Behavioral Extensions to CSS"
<http://www.w3.org/TR/becss>
is one of the two I've been hoping to see become reality for a while.
(The other is closer to reality: "CSS3 module: Multi-column layout"
<http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-multicol/>)
