It'd be better for us to author the styles in scss.

We can still host the css in the repo for newbs that can't be bothered with a `compass compile` step

#### overall advantages:

* easier for most authors to begin scaling their styles
* better authoring experience
* integrated error checking
* don't need to rewrite everything (like a Sass dialect would require)

#### individual advantages

* hotpink color could be a variable
* `:selection` styles DRYd up
* box-sizing mixin for `input[type=search]`
* probably something very clever with our nonsemantic helper classes
* _probably more than i'm missing_

#### disadvantages

* one more step.
* double file checkin for css changes (not that they happen often)
