Re: [e4-dev] CSS and e4.0 and e3.6

[Bogdan Gheorghe <gheorghe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom -

I agree that this is an important issue
to address. To date we really have been operating in a "global stylesheet"
mode which obviously won't work well when others want to contribute their
own individual stylesheets.  I'll take a look at the code and comment
on the bug.

Thanks,
B

Would it be easier to bring in the bundle into CVS?
