CSS can’t ‘break’ sites: It's completely presentational and functionally 
harmless. Things with a far greater degree of power already exist 
[http://www.cssfly.net].

I'm not sure how useful an idea this is. I've been thinking recently 
about the possibility of developing some clever algorithm to make sites 
printer-friendly: I like to print out lengthy and interesting articles 
from my favourite zines and blogs, and often end up using the FF 
developer toolbar[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60]'s 
CSS editor to put a display:none on navigation, adverts, forms, 
comments. Mind you if this is an extended application of an already 
succesful premise, it must be worthwhile.

So sell your idea to a serious back-ender. The notion that modifying CSS 
might cause security worries doesn't bode well for how far you've 
envisioned the technology!
