Well, CSS is intended to accommodate all media, so I imaging eventually
people will want to use it in aural web browsers as well. Plus CSS will
be an important way to indicate presentation style, so it might
conceivably be useful even for documents only intended for printed
delivery.

However, I don't really see it quickly becoming a standard library
component. But I do think the ramifications of CSS will eventually reach
further than you apparently anticipate.
