Question: what's involved in "getting the style into the user's app"?
For sake of argument, why can't we have a simple general solution like: CSL styles go into a common directory; on linux, say ~/.cslstyles or some such. Apps then simply watch that directory. I'm not a developer, so probably missing some detail, but I think simple is better all around.
