Including the stylesheet through TS should not at all hinder the non- 
admin users from changing the templates easily. They change them as  
they always have and do not have to touch the TS code. The admin user  
can change the stylesheet for an entire section via TS but this is  
transparent to the non-admin user when changing the templates.

Now, the technique presupposes that you use a common stylesheet for  
all your templates. If you do not then you need to map through TV  
header parts.

I am normally able to use a common css file because, as Georg  
mentioned in an earlier post, I also assign a unique body id to each  
template. I then map the body tag (and body tag only) through TV.  
Having that body id allows me to target css for specific elements  
within specific templates.

For instance, if you have two templates with body ids of "alt-1" and  
"alt-1" and then css of:

#mainContent { color: black; }
#alt-1 #mainContent { color: red; }
#alt-1 #mainContent { color: blue; }

Then the text color in the div with an id of "mainContent" would be  
red in the alt-1 template, blue in the alt-2 template, and black in  
all other templates.
