We could use it for text/html as well, but that means that all the 
dynamic URLs have to be absolute - so you'd have to hardcode your 
hostname into the app configuration.  Not such a big deal, but it can 
be a minor hassle some times, for example if your local IP changes 
frequently.  Probably better would be to have some method on 
HtmlRenderer that looks up the same configuration data used to set 
Content-Location on CSS, and outputs absolute static URLs instead.
