From what I know of most large organizations, they will want to define the exact "extensions" that are allowed to the corporate stylesheet. When a stylesheet is designed with extensions in mind I think that we are talking about "parameterization". You invoke the stylesheet and supply parameters such as departmental background, logo, etc. CSS doesn't really allow parameterization except through cascading, but once you open the cascading floodgates the central stylesheet maintainer loses all control.
