What's wrong with letting the DefaultServlet continue to do its normal
job by serving every resource that isn't otherwise mapped?

Why bother? If /resources/css/gopublish.css isn't mapped explicitly,
then the DefaultServlet will look in your webapp's /resources/css/
directory for gopublish.css and serve the bytes no problem.

It does not matter.

I think I've gotten lost... what are you actually trying to
accomplish, here? Do you have a bunch of static content that is
outside of the webapp's docBase that you want to serve from within its
URL space? Any possibility that you could upgrade to Tomcat 7 which
has "aliases" which can do this?
