The main problem I see is that the CSS can't be cached by the client. You will force a new download on each request.
I would opt to use different CSS files and then use CF to "LINK" to them in the HTML HEAD. But, that is if you are wanting to give different "skins" rather than quickly-changing dynamic styles. Other than that, it's pretty cool.
