An other approach is to use a tmcommand  a la:

open -a CSSEdit "$TM_SELECTED_FILE"

For me there is no need to open css file as default with CSSEdit (my  
default is TextMate ;).

On the other hand it would also be possible to use CSSEdit as CSS  
editor for CSS definitions specified inside an HTML file. You select  
the CSS stuff, the selection will be saved as /tmp/tm.css, this file  
will be opened in CSSEdit, and if you save that file and close CSSEdit  
the content of /tmp/tm.css will be inserted in TM.
