I don't think so. I can show you even in NN2 how the stylesheet values
(will) change after the stylesheet tool has been used. Functionality is
server-side and works on all clients. The only thing left is what has ALWAYS
been left... display of the stylesheet.

I hope you can see how I think we're more worried about the kind of
precedent that would set more than the feature itself. I mean, you're
already referring to a stylesheet changer that isn't even built yet (and
that's much more towards the right side of the gray line, if that makes
sense).
