We don't know the operational scenario here.  I pictured a process where 
the software would get loaded once and then run for a long time (perhaps 
hours or days) without changes.  In this case, any recompilation time 
would be negligible.  Another variant situation occurs when the program, 
on startup, gets the stylesheet paths from the config file and loads the 
stylesheet at that time.  In this case too, creating the imports 
stylesheet would take just a little code and would incur no significant 
performance penalty (since the stylesheets would get compiled anyway, 
changed or not).
