Actually my use case isn't really for dynamic stylesheets but for absolute urls. I want to be able to edit say a filesystem site using dreamweaver and have relative urls like background-image: url(back.jpg) work, and then when this is used in a zope site such as a plone site then have it use something like background-image: url(http://site.com/back.jpg) to save on repeated requests.
If the zope hierarchy matches your filesystem hierarchy, you shouldn't need to use absolute URIs.
The other possible use case might what plone does with dtml in it's skins which is to define a color/font once and use it in many places. I'm not that fussed about that one, but neither of them are really dynamic.
I don't use plone, so I couldn't speak to this.
What if there was a CSSFile that when loaded changes all urls to absolute urls? That might be too specific but at least it does open the dynamisim flood gates.
Thats doing the work in the wrong place. If you have a one-time translation job, which is basically what you're asking for, then you should do it once before the object is placed into the zodb. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ "Paranoia is a disease unto itself, and may I add, the person standing next to you may not be who they appear to be, so take precaution." -Sathington Willoughby
