Can you be more explicit in what you're actually looking for, then?  I
tried to summarize your desire in a more actionable form, but couldn't
figure out quite what you were asking for.

Do you want an ability for authors to specify whether their
stylesheets are light-on-dark or dark-on-light?  Or do you want UAs to
automagically change the styles on a page to match your light/dark
preference?  Or do you want something else entirely?
