On the lower level we don't need to agree on a format. We should define a protocol for component (page, widget, anything else?) CSS that allows us to specify and collect the CSS rules as strings. Then one can use whatever he wishes to generate their CSS and even mix approaches. IMHO this protocol is way more important than deciding on a specific DSL approach, but I suppose I have missed your actual question by far. ;) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
