I am currently naming my JavaScript files with the extension .rhtml just to be able of using ERb in them ("If the template file has a +.rhtml+ extension then it uses a mixture of ERb (included in Ruby) and HTML", Peak Obsession ).

Not sure why you wouldn't use RJS, but I saw a blog posting about setting up a route and controller to to use ERb on .rcss files. The same technique should work for you:
