Mohammad, I agree we could make more use of CSS, and better documentation is important but as TT said the most critical issue is its relationship to Tiddlywiki. For example the classes in use and the best way to change them, where the elements are and what their names are. Since Tiddlywiki is a single page application we tend to stay in this single page rather than move from one page to the next like a classic website, which can use sophisticated and different CSS in each page. This means much css can apply in places you do not want it too, so a standard to allow css to be targeted to tiddlywiki elements.
If the above can be done effectively and document any exceptions and workarounds when they deviate from standard CSS practices we will not need to import all the documentation about css but reference publicly available css documentation. I am a big fan of maximising the use of standards and documenting essential differences only. Leaving the community to share tips and tricks.
