This in part, I imagine depends on the language you are using.
I have the same set of circumstances, multiple fuses (apps). I tend to
create a style sheet for each app, and use unique identifiers <table
id="contact-form">, <table id="contact-feedback">, <form
id="store-shoppingcart">. This enables you to create a global style sheet
if that's what you wish.
I also write links to the style sheets out based on the URI. If
cgi.script_name contains "/store" I'll include the store's style sheet,
same with "/contact" and so on.
If you are using Coldfusion, there's a tag: cfhtmlhead. This will place the
content of the tag between the <head></head> tags, just before the closing tag.
Hope this helps.
