Be they cascading or parameterized, stylesheets can be kept under
central control. But can a stylesheet be an enforcement mechanism? I
thought external stylesheets were about convenience and efficiency.
Without the cooperation of authors, no stylesheet will "enforce"
stylistic consistency. But with cooperation, they will "facilitate" it.
