+1. Having variables, class inheritance etc. in css is clearly a first step toward dealing with css declarations in a more consistent way compared to what we do now. Refactoring the existing css files to use LESS will require a substantial amount of work but I suppose we can do that incrementally. Like you say, we already have a compile step so doing for css files what we already do for js files should be pretty straight forward. Also, the code of LESS itself seems to be well structured, well tested, with a clean build process and rather readable so it won't be a nightmare to produce bugfixes/improvements should we need to do that. Thanks for putting this forward Huw.
