well. maybe....

- clients may not cache the css response... depending on what form the
url takes, and what the settings of the client are, and maybe on the
http headers sent along. If the generated css does not change, then
caching is clearly a good thing...

+ you could however parametrize a css file in ways that css itself does
not support...

Unrelated question, about StaticPage... when running behind apache,
what is the overheard of passing static files thru qx+StaticPage as
opposed to using something like /static derved directly by apache? Is
the only advantage to using StaticPage to be webserver independent?
