Excellent.

<mx:Style>
.style1
{
color : #ff0000;
}
.style2
{
border-color : #00ff00;
}
.style3
{
fill-colors : #000000, 000000;
}
.buttonStyles
{
styleNames : style1, style2, style3;
}
</mx:Style>

<flexlib:CSSPropertyInjector
target="{ buttonInjector }"
styleName="buttonStyles" />
<flexlib:CSSPropertyInjector
id="buttonInjector"
target="{ button }" />

<mx:Button id="button" label="Test" />

I'd have to explore this one a little bit. It sounds like a good idea, but at the same time sort of turns it back into the current Flex implementation of CSS. The power is being able to mix and match different selectors. I suppose CSS in HTML has the feature you're talking about so it's probably valuable for some cases.

Say, in your first example, you want to change the outterbox from blueBorder to redBorder you would just have to change it in the css and not as a property of the CSSPropertyInjector.

There's one thing that seems missing though (or maybe it's there and I just don't see it): if you push the idea to its limits, one should be able to set the various stylenames inside the CSS itself, so you can easily change the various targets' styles by editing the CSS only.

Something like affection stylename="cssPropertyInjectorStyle" to the CSSPropertyInjector and then:
styleNames: "blueBorder,solidBorder,whiteBackground,padding20px,centered,ceneterdContent"; inside the CSS.

See what I mean?
