Its starting to become clearer to me what's going on.

Well -- the @external and other CssResource features won't ever make
it to anywhere past the source code, right? They all get compiled by
the GWT compiler into some amalgam of Java/CSS that should be
compatible with any standards-compliant rendering device, no?

Where are you suggesting the definition for my-MyWidget live?
Also, the syntax won't guarantee that there aren't any typos or that
the style has been defined. Whereas this alternate syntax provides
that:
> <g:MyWidget addStyleNames="{style.my-MyWidget}" />
or even
> <g:MyWidget addStyleNames="{myApp.my-MyWidget}" />
And, doesn't this syntax (which is compatible with the use of
{style.someStyle} in a .ui.xml
<ui:style> .... </ui:style> actually generate a CssResource auto-
magically?
So, if I want to apply a common style (say, to all tables no matter
where they appear) across my entire app (and say, some tables are
built on the fly in Java code, and some are built in UiBinder.ui.xml
resources, and say some are built in some "static" .html files) --
what do you suggest?
Seems you're saying if I want to declaratively apply the style in my
UiBinder.ui.xml (which I want to do), I would have to do this:
<ui:style>
@external my-MyWidget
</ui:style>
then I would reference using:
<g:Widget addStyleNames="{my-MyWidget}"/>
So, if I then wanted to say have some page being rendered as entirely
auto-generated via some servlet -- I'll have to use the technique you
mentioned here:

Have I got it now?
Cheers.
