I'm going to reply to a couple things here, since your message is last
and the last line sums things up pretty well.

- In response to Robin, I suggested templating css/pss with cheetah,
but I don't really like that idea. CSS should be static, making them
dynamic throws out much of their benefit. I'm still toying with
templating CSS just so the overall width of a page and related layout
could be tailored to a users preferences, but except fo that, I don't
think I want CSS to change.

- As for the cascading element of CSS, that Jorge points out, I think
cascading is part of the problem, it's why understanding the actual
result of a sheet is so hard -- the need for the !important statement
seems to me a clear indication that something is wrong here.  Still,
PSS would generate CSS (and only CSS) that would be capable of handling
everything CSS could (but possibly restricting the number of ways you
could do so).

- Finally, "It's a clever idea, it just doesn't seem to be needed." I
think sums things up pretty well.  As Jeff pointed out, CSS isn't that
hard to learn (it just offends my aesthetic sensibilities).   Ugliness
by itself isn't justification enough for building a new linguistic
structure to avoid it.

Thanks to all for kicking this around
