As far as I know, a web browser actually needs to download the
stylesheet before using it. So this would require to implement network
transaction capabilities into LilyPond, which does not seem very
useful at this point :-)

(that being said, it should be easy to use a Python script or even a
Guile module to retrieve the files).
