What might this do?  CSS switchers I'm familiar with use JavaScript to 
rewrite the DOM and change the selected CSS in the browser:

Having some server code emit different CSS, or change the CSS link 
specified in some Ruby-generated HTML page, seem trivial.

One might, I suppose, combine these things and use remote scripting to 
fetch a custom CSS file or modify inline CSS in the browser.
