Hmm... can you point out to them that there's a similarity between using
an external style sheet and using header/footer includes? And that as a
coder, it would be your responsibility to maintain these include files,
not theirs? Personally, I think .css external style sheets are
awesome -- there's no reason I can see that they couldn't continue to
use them. You don't need control over the .css file, and it would be
easy for you to do

<style>
<?php
echo "$stylesheet"
?>
</style>

in the include header, which gives them control over the contents of the
<style> tag (obviously they have to know how to use

<?php
$stylesheet = "<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="stylesheet.css" />" ;
?>

and put this before the include() call). Using this technique, they
don't even have to limit themselves to a single external style sheet or
even external style sheets at all -- they could make it a document-level
style sheet.

This way you each can reach a compromise about control. Just a
suggestion.
