Lightweight Skin Framework

  As part of my course at UIUC, I have written a "CSS Skin" pattern - along with a sample implementation. I would like to contribute that to the struts framework. It is relatively independent of the struts library (much like the Tiles framework), but I feel that it would be most useful to the web developers when bundled with Struts.
   
  I am aware of a much more powerful framework "XKins" - but imho, that is an overkill for most applications. My pattern assumes that most web developers already have a CSS file that abstracts the pure presentation elements out of the JSP files. This pattern allows you to provide alternative CSS files in the form of skins. 
   
  regards,
  Mohan
   
  [PS: please let me know if you want the pattern in a different format]
