Ah.  Well, there are a couple of ways to handle that where all the
dynamicity is on the server end, so no JavaScript is required.  For
instance, the stylesheet href in the <link> could be the URL of,
instead of a static CSS file, a dynamic page (CGI, PHP, ASP, JSP,
mod_perl, Ruby on RAILS, whatever...) that serves the appropriate CSS
content based on the cookie.

Bt personally, I'd stick with the JavaScript solution.  As long as you
have a reasonable fallback - where people with JS disabled can still
get the content, even if they lose the ability to do certain fancy
things like change the color scheme - I don't see a problem.  Going to
great lengths to accomodate the paranoid is not a good expenditure of
time. :)
