What's been asked for here is not palette's but macro processor type variables. I can't remember all of the problems with this but I seem to remember that the main counter arguments are that: 1) it can be implemented purely server side by running a macro processor on the server or in the authoring tool set; 2) a similar effect can be achieved by grouping together selectors with the same property value, and for documents with rational styling, this will indicate the styling logic much better than a client side variable.
