I would suggest having a namespace prefix with which module makers can add
also frontend specific options. For example, if there was
Frontend* prefix, my key would be FrontendAndBibleCSS, which could then be
deprecated as soon as official config has been specified and supported
by libs.

My draft can be considered as an initial draft suggestion for an official
sword css specification.

It will require modifying CSS dynamically (adding prefixes), and parsing
CSS manually is not a good idea.

Can you describe the specific lay out requirements and why they are as they

Can you specify what you mean? Layout of CSS?
