I think you shouldn't exclude this option.
Even is CSS is not XML, it would be quite easy to write a CSS SAX parser
reading CSS files and sending SAX events which could be used in a XSLT
transformation.
I have recently done a similar parser reading csv files and sending SAX
events (see http://4xt.org/news/000524-0001.xml) and if you want to go
in this direction, I would be happy to write one for CSS.

It's quite similar, except that by using SAX, you avoid intermediate
files.

I was also considering the reverse (a FO processor generating XHTML +
CSS)...
Hope this helps.
