I'm a little confused. Essentially this would allow an editor to do
<style>.foo { width: 700px; }</style>
<div class="foo"></div>rather than <div style="width:700px"></div> which is currently the case. The former is obviously preferable from a mobile perspective as it allows you to use media queries and style things better on mobile. I think what you are talking about is something we would need to think about once such a thing is in place.
