Why not just write your style rules as XCSS (if you like it) and then 
use XSLT to
convert it to "real" CSS?  That's certainly as doable as writing in 
HTML-fr.

There's nothing stopping anyone from creating their own XCSS language, 
as
long as they're okay with converting it to the standard.  As this is 
what you'd have
to do (a conversion) for HTML-fr, I don't see any problem with 
suggesting the same
process for XCSS.
