"Dog-fooding" is a, er, technical term for "verifying the functionality of
an software interface or component by using it within the software itself".
The idea is that the Style Editor shouid be implemented as a pure
browser-side application, interfacing with GeoServer solely via the REST
API. (This is in contrast to the current web interface, which utillises
the internal Java API). One advantage of this approach is that it provides
a "level playing field" to allow alternative styling editors to be
developed independently.
