How often must the stylesheets be embedded?  I've not yet bothered to
look at the new 2.5 code, because I've not yet caught Borges up to the
2.3 code base to a position where I'm comfortable to make changes (not
enough tests).

Am I correct in 2.3 you could have "static" styles built into a cacheable
URL via the #style method on the components, and the problem here is
separate from the #style method?

Ok, I wasn't sure if this was the case in Seaside or not, it was not
obvious to me from the code.
