Well, I have to take that back. I was positive it was caching, but now I can't seem to make it do so. But it still reads the style info properly.
Using Firebug to view my NET activity show that the cfm style sheet is reloaded every time even after turing on Coldfusion caching. I added a call to a second static style sheet ending in the normal .css and Firebug returns 304 not modified status for the .css style sheet. So, I can generate a dynamic style sheet and link to in as style.cfm but the browser won't cache it. Even tried to trick it with this <link href="style.cfm?.css" rel="stylesheet"> and it won't stick in the browser cache.
