It's an interesting idea... it's like userstyles.org but without the
requirement of the Stylish extension (AFAIK only Fx). But there's
something I don't quite understand, how would you apply those styles?
If you want that to be browser-independent the only way I see is for
the site to apply itself, meaning you would need both parts, the site
owners and the users, to sign in in your site (which, although not
impossible, would limit your site a lot). I mean, the site owners would
be giving your site basically total control over their layout, and this
seem to be quite risky for them ---there would be no need to crack any
of those sites if they can break yours.
On the other hand, this could be well received for small, personal
and some adventurers out there :)
