To resolve that problem, i now use Resources Viewlets, that can "need"
the resources you want according to 3 discriminants : the context, the
request (therefore the skin) and the view, (and also the
viewletmanager, but that's an implementation detail).

I agree. it's doable, the question is : is it needed ? One or 2 middle
