Its not much of a problem to insert a variable in the xhtml-slim for the 
call to the css.
I think you could choose the value of the variable depending on the 
namespace of the page (easy) on or the name of the page...those are 
custom changing layout without the use of cookie.
Then of course, you can use a cookie, for different layout depending on 
people visiting your site.

Although I used this method just to change the language of the menu 
depending on the language of the visitor's browser, I really think it 
could be easily adapt for the name of the css (or the directory, but 
beware, I'm not sure how it will be handled by the users monobook 
features... better disable this)
