Writing a static file is certainly good, but I have some questions:
a) What about themes that (want to) include different stylesheets
depending on what is displayed? (e.g. a completely different stylesheet
for archives)
b) What if a plugin (wants to) include(s) a stylesheet depending on
<younameit>? (weekday, theme selector on the page, ...)
c) Will there be an option for plugin/theme developers to switch to a
on-the-fly-generation so they can alter any css file (in there favorite
editor) and get the new css on next page load? I would not want to have
to wait x minutes, do y reloads or press a button every time I make a
change to a css file during development.

Greetings,
lino.
