[Seaside] How to include style for a component composed by other components

[Julian Fitzell]

Either is probably fine. In general, it would be *better* to arrange for
only the active sub-components to be in #children (all #children are given
the opportunity to add stylesheets, updateUrl:, etc. and you may not want
inactive components to do that) but I'd say it's a common pattern to return
all the children that you *might* render.
