However, you would have to check, if browsers really reload there
stylesheets with every request. Maybe it doesn't work like that if you
want to mutate the layout of your pages with each request.

This is a philosophical issue, isn't it? I would not like a site that
changes dramatically with each request, unless you do something very
special.
Small changes might be ok (like some sites that automatically change
header images), but don't confuse your guests.

Personally I like most websites better, if they are consistent. On the
other hand, an artsy website can do anything and still that's fine for
me. Of course this is just my own personal opinion. A good book on
usability issues like consistency is IMHO "Don't make me think" by Steve
Krug.
