Queenstown - Such a lovely environment. I wouldn't have been in  touch
at all!

I agree with everything I understand... and don't know enough to comment
on the rest... so I leave that to you coders.

I agree - it is a bad idea :)  I chose "type" to illustrate the general
case of how variables might be passed to .css  <block class=variable> to
improve efficiency and flexibility - anyhow, that was my intention.
Again, I probably don't understand the options sufficiently to see a
better alternative.

For any given website, I'm (mostly) used to having one stylesheet does
all... which is probably the only reason that variables seemed like a
good idea - I'll have to have some more practice with this before
commenting further.
 
Thanks for the clarity... must be all that fresh air and sunshine :)
