Yup, this seems to match what a number of other people in the CSS-processing community have found, which is that "atomizing" a stylesheet into its component declarations can offer significant space savings. It doesn't seem to match people's preferred authoring styles / mental models, but as a post-processing step it seems to have a lot of promise. ~TJ
