I "solved" this by using different templates for each
subversion and switch between them via .wmlrc

I may misunderstand you, but I'd rather like to have a
(central-)definition file in which I predefine the styles.

What is with your idea when you've got a 200-pages-site and
want to _add_ a "new" environment (or style) to it?

Have a look at CSS. The concept with wml could be similar.
