Hi all, to close this one, here is my final proposal: * I am going to implement what I've proposed, as a short term solution * I've scheduled a story to make the current CSS page no longer be necessary here http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOS-6325, referring to Justin's work. Hopefully we can make that work by 2.6, does not look like it would need a major amount of extra work, maybe we can organize and get it done in spare time?
About the above plan, any objection?
