I've done that now.

We don't even need to do that! The attached patch just creates a wrapper
css.xml that loads the .css via an entity reference.

I think this looks reasonably complicated, given that it gives us a working
stylesheet for the non-chunked output?

I don't know if my hack of putting the paramters in stylesheet-common.xsl is
reasonable. Perhaps we should just include stylesheet-html-common.xsl in
stylesheet-hh.xsl, then this uglyness wouldn't be required.
