Style sheets and images don't, and people may prefer skin layers.
Style sheets often want DTML, which is not supported in browser
resources.
Nothing stops you from using ZPT for this. ZPT may be a bit more
cumbersome to use when outputting a non-XML format, but not that
much.
Of course you can. But is is incredibly awkward to use an XML
attribute
templating language for a pure text format. We don't want to inflict
that on users. Have you ever looked at our email templates? They are
amazingly painful to read for that very reason.
pretty much all that gets replaced is colours + 2 widths. so I don't
think matters much the templating. I'd personally prefer no logic in
the css since it makes it hard to work with css people who aren't
programmers.
The main win (for us at least) for using DTML in our CSS isn't logic,
per se; it's the ability to grab the portal_url variable so that we
can set background images with an absolute url. (We do that in every
single customized theme we create, and like Wiggy, I shudder at the
thought of doing that in ZPT.)_______________________________________________
