Wikiamobile is typically inaccessible to local styling and will likely remain so. Whilst mobile platforms are becoming increasingly common these days, testing code on them isn't easy. It's all well and good to test it from your laptop/computer with ?useskin=wikiamobile but your computer is not a very good replication of the mobile environment. If it was down to me, that would be the reason local styling isn't accessible to local admins. Unfortunately, I don't know the reason off the top of my head, I believe it was a developer decision and they are kind of hard to contact directly.

The main reason I keep rswiki's Handheld.css so small is lack of ResourceLoader support. Comments and whitespace is normally preserved when using link tags, which are stripped away when using ResourceLoader. And I finally got around to fixing that with this edit.

I still stand by my opinion that styling should only be applied if absolutely necessary and I have yet to see a good reason to import javascript into Wikiamobile, hence I have never implemented a hack to do so. CSS is one thing (and relatively standardised at that), but JavaScript, even today, has slightly different implementations across different browsers and testing javascript from a mobile platform is a little too hard for my liking.

Besides, Wikia do a good job maintaining the skin. I wouldn't want to potentially break something they did or will do in the future.
