I'm sure this kind of optimisation is feasible. The tricky things about
optimisation are:

- getting the logic right
- testing that the logic is right
- avoiding speeding up some stylesheets but slowing down others
- avoiding spending more time optimising than you save
- balancing time against space
- avoiding the code becoming unmaintainable

But with effort, it's certainly doable.
