You have my fully agreement on this point :)

Well the only things that may differ inside the stylesheet
from one language to another are the font face and the
font size. Then I'm not sure three file are required.
Moreover you know how crappy is NN4 with CSS:
for example a child selector rarely inherit the rules applied
to its parent. In our case it means the font face may have
to be repeated inside each of the selector defnition.
With this is mind, I'm unfortunatly not sure a common css can be used.
Actually we faced the problem with
phpMyChat, that's the reason why I can detail.

My suggestion is only one file (let's say 'stylesheet.php') called this way:
<?php
$css_url = urlencode("/stylesheet.php?fontFace=$strFontFace&
textDirection=$strTextDirection");
?>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<?php echo $css_url; ?>" />
