Only if the default CSS is still output somewhere. If I understand
Bob's proposal correctly, the customised CSS would replace the default
CSS, so you'd have to copy the default CSS to the output directory to
be able to @import it (or you could import it from a remote URL, maybe
a standard location on one of the DocBook websites, but that would
introduce other potential problems).
