This sounds like a great approach to me.  I'm convinced that there are
other Org-mode users with much more sophisticated knowledge of CSS who
may improve our initial efforts in time.

One other alternative that comes to mind--while we're making impositions
on Jason's kindness :)--is that it would be nice to have an alternate
version of Worg published side-by-side with the original, only instead
of publishing each page using org-publish-as-html, it could publish each
page using only htmlize.  That way we could show off how nice Org-mode
syntax can be when viewed from inside of Emacs, and users could see a
side-by-side between the plain-text and html versions.  An example of
this approach done successfully is Dan's Babel example at
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~davison/software/org-babel/drift.org.html
