Yea. We can't use the body tag anymore, because we're using the full-page
response, rip out everything *between* the <body> and </body> tags and use
that as the Ajax response. So, I guess you're right: It's an ajax response.

I like this setup. It's a nice clean separation of libraries/abstractions
out of the regular CSS (both global and page-specific).

It sounds like you were using Compass for more than just it's 'watch'
command for real-time compilation? I'm aware that compass has much more to
offer than just real-time compilation. I value your feedback - which I
interpret as "go there when you know what you're doing" - but wasn't
suggesting we should start using Compass as a CSS library; more as a CSS
compiler/developer tool. I'm not aware in what extent Compass and Dojo's
Claro theme conflict, so without experimenting, I don't know anything about
the validity of such a step.

Well, since we have more than enough to do as it is - and taking into
account that I'm happy with the Claro theme - I'm now reading "don't go
there" into your words here. So, for now, let's not go there.
