Yes, which require special installations on the server…

No, not at all. SASS must be installed only on your development machine (the computer you write the code on: e.g., the same computer you installed your code editor on). It compiles to regular CSS, and that is what goes on your website. Your server need never know where it came from.

What I’m suggesting is basically SaSS but do the processing in the editor – handling variables, vendor prefixes and etc then output a valid standard .css file which can be used anywhere without compatibility issues or special installations.

This describes SASS exactly —the only difference is that it’s its own program, instead of specifically being part of a code editor.

Yes sounds great however meanwhile we still are supporting IE6/7

BTW, sorry to hear that.
