I can't see how this is at all practicable.  Monobook (and the shared
Common.css) are edited all the time, by necessity or at whim, as each
individual project sees fit.  For that matter, if a designer is that
proud of his work, he's certainly not going to like all the custom
styles used on many pages and in almost all templates.
