Invoke \CssFile via \AfterEndPreamble

Question

When running htlatex <filename> one can include CSS code via \CssFile and \EndCssFile. This works fine as long as the code is included directly in the main document body.

I suspect this is the usual problem of including verbatim content in a macro, but is there a way to include CSS code but not have to put it in the actual document body.

Notes:

pfdlatex runs fine on both of these, problem is only with htlatex in the second MWE below.
The CSS included is not really used in the HTML to be generated from this MWE.

Code: Works, but document is cluttered

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\begin{document}
%% This works, but would rather it not be here so that the document is not cluttered.
\ifpdf
\else
      \CssFile 
         /* css.sty */ 
        .imageWrapperHi { height:99%; width:100%; text-align:center; page-break-inside:avoid; }
        .imageWrapperHi img { display:inline-block; height:100%; margin:0 auto; }

      \EndCssFile
\fi
% -------
Some text.
\end{document}

Code: Desire a solution such as this

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{ifpdf}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\ifpdf
\else
    \AfterEndPreamble{%
          \CssFile 
             /* css.sty */ 
            .imageWrapperHi { height:99%; width:100%; text-align:center; page-break-inside:avoid; }
            .imageWrapperHi img { display:inline-block; height:100%; margin:0 auto; }

          \EndCssFile
      }%
\fi
% -------
\begin{document}
Some text.
\end{document}

You should use .cfg file for this stuff, it is really not needed to clutter your documents with tex4ht configurations. It works with following file, hello.cfg:

\Preamble{xhtml}
\begin{document}
\CssFile 
/* css.sty */ 
.imageWrapperHi { height:99%; width:100%; text-align:center; page-break-inside:avoid; }
.imageWrapperHi img { display:inline-block; height:100%; margin:0 auto; }  
\EndCssFile
\EndPreamble

compile with

htlatex filename hello
