First off I want to say that its looking great, some great work was done 
while I was away. However there are a few things i noticed today while 
hooking up persistence. I am curious as to other peoples thoughts.

* use of word "Manager"

It seems redundant. I mean... we could call everything a "manager" that 
is used to configure. What was wrong with "Resources", "Namespaces", and 
"Styles" in the menu?

* feedback under page heading

Feedback messages appear above the page heading and description. I think 
it might be a bit nicer if it apperd below the heading, and above the 
rest of the page content. Or maybe on the right hand side of the page so 
that none of the main content on the page shifts up and down.

* use of icons vs buttons

On the resources page, we have icons for add,edit,delete, but on the 
namespaces and style pages we have buttons with words on them. I am 
wondering if we could make these consistent, or if there is an explicit 
reason. I suspect maybe because of the limited real estate in the 
resource tree?

* line between data and publishing seems blurred

If you look at the ResourceConfigurationPage, the data tab seems to have 
content that i would think belongs on the publishing side of the fence. 
Things like title,keywords,abstract, and published bounding box all 
belong on the layer that is published, not the native resource. I cant 
remember if we came up with this at the sprint, i apologize for being 
out of the loop for so long.
