In principle that sounds nice, but in practice there might be problems. There 
were at least in the past, which made us do it that way.

Sam is the skin we are customizing for all YUI widgets. I'm not sure getting a 
specific widget to use a different skin is implemented at all (or if 
implemented, tested and working).

I'd suggest you try it out, but if takes you more than 30 minutes to get it 
working, assume it's not and go with adding sam stylesheets CSS.
