I agree, but I'm not sure that making the resources into explicit
configuration items will make things better.
The user does not have to manually declare them, so we'd have to extract
their location automatically anyways
each time the SLD (or css) is saved.
Given that, isn't it better to do the job only when the files are moved, if
they are at all?
We could have a flag that disables the automatic path transformation during
parsing, we walk the style, get
the resource references, and locate the relative ones, either moving them
around or updating the
references.
I would actually go for the latter, unless you first want to check all the
styles around to see if any other
style also depends on the same resource (in such case you cannot move it,
you have to copy it instead)
