It's only bad style if you have to take care of both versions. If the compressed/whiespace impaired version is taken care of by a script (ie the script automatically updates it whenever the original changes) then there's no problem with style at all. Surely, as a programmer, you would understand that the DRY* principal doesn't exclude caching and duplication altogether, but rather requires that you don't have to perform the same action more than once. * http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DontRepeatYourself > > > > Ingo, a programmer ;-) > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d > List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ > List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html > Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/ > -- http://grimboy.co.uk ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
