I'm a fan of making things smaller and use GWT to compile and compress versions of sites for each browser and format to achieve the bare minimum, but starting out at the CSS lib might be premature optimization give that it's not where most of the fat is. Plus, next to no site is going to use just that lib and their CSS will surely grow well in excess of that 5k.
