What about

\newenvironment{myzebratable}[2][c]
    {\rowcolors{2}{gray!30}{gray!15}%
     \tabular[#1]{#2}%
     \rowcolor{gray!55}}
    {\endtabular}

in your style file (re-using Arnaud's code); in your document source:

\begin{myzebratable}{lll}
  head    & head  & head\\
  even    & even  & even\\
  odd     & odd   & odd \\
  even    & even  & even\\
\end{myzebratable}

?

I also wonder what happens if the \rowcolors command occurs once
in the style file only (instead of my proposal above).

Curious:

    Uwe.
