@bobv, please double check me here.
This will work, although I don't know if it will work in gwt/current or even
gwt/canary yet:
<ui:style src='colors.css'>
.foo { color: yellow; }
</ui:style>
A ui:style element can have any number of css source files (space
separated). They'll be concatenated, and the body text appended to them. But
the ability for ui:style to have both a source css file and body text was a
fairly recent change. I doubt it's in gwt/current, and I'm not even sure
that it's in the long delayed gwt/canary.
@bobv, will anything pathological happen to the generated code if lots of
ui.xml files all do this? Remember that each ui.xml defines its own
ClientBundle.
