This would be a powerful way to modularise complicated stylesheets. One 
could set variables and import a set of styles to make use of those 
variables, similar to the way that XSL is sometimes modularised.

This can be done at the moment with the approach of assigning selectors 
to properties rather than vice versa mentioned previously, but 
providing variables would increase the separation and maintainability 
of the individual files. This could be very useful in environments with 
large disparate sites and teams.
