If the element is being rendered in the layout, why not add the $html- >css to the header as normal in the layout?
Is the element optional in the layout? ie. is it only displayed on some pages and not others? If so, I think the minor overhead of including the CSS on every page (and therefore cached by the browser) would outway the overhead of using an additional helper.
