That's basically something like
@import url("book") screen;
@import url("minimal") print;
@import url("slides") projection;
There have been and are many efforts to create re-usable style sheets,
an early one is <http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/>, similarily some
browsers come with pre-defined style sheets, e.g. Opera "Classic" lets
users choose specialised style sheets for high contrast and similar
things. There are probably mountains of "WordPress themes".
