CSS is about the interchange language between producers and browsers, it
is not necessarily a language for interchanging between cooperating 
authors (although I'm not sure how much style sheet collaboration 
crosses over between authoring tools).

What you maybe want is a new standard for collaborative authoring which
can be resolved to standard CSS in the published page.

To be honest, I might expect any really sophisticated authoring tool to
maintain an internal format, complete with additional meta-data, for
the style sheets.
