Wouldn't it make sense to take this load of the server and compress your css files as a matter of deployment?
I use a makefile and keep my (in this case) javascript files in filenames such as name.js.raw The makefile produces a file name.js from name.js.raw which has comments stripped out and (lots of other optimizations) If you can't work with the filename extension, you could use a rule for going from something like name_raw.js -> name.js Also is your approach compatible with HTTP compression (mod_deflate, etc) ? I am not sure.
