[Seaside] inline or link to styles and scripts

[Keith Hodges]

Dear Richard,

I am attempting to add a stylesheet tool to pier, using pier.

Where I am in the heirarchy of pier will determine the stylesheet that 
is sent. Since my earlier email I have got this working and I am quite 
chuffed with it.

So, the StyleLibrary is a bit static for this, and from what I can tell 
uses the inline approach (the styles end up in <style>...</style> 
tags.), but lukas has put an "@import ..." in there which I suspect may 
cache the stylesheet in the browser.

At the moment I am dynamically generating my stylesheet and sending it 
inline, image urls are passed using WADocumentHandler, which gets called 
every time to generate the urls on the fly.

I am sure that there is a lot to do to improve efficiency through 
caching. At present there is no reason why the stylesheet cannot be 
cached when the user saves the stylesheet editing page (unless once the 
session expires my image urls go stale)
 
so, would linkToStyle: referencing a text document served by 
WADocumentHandler be better than the above?

Keith
