'Ello,

So why is all CSS now dynamically generated?  Aren't we eliminating all 
opportunity for client-side caching (and network caching)?  Doesn't this 
decrease server performance and scalability and increase the download burden on 
the growing mobile net market?

I realize that some CSS stylesheets (and perhaps the CSS itself if it's 
piecemeal enough) needs to be dynamically included (as with plugins), but I 
don't understand why *everything* is dynamic.  For example, design.css, 
layout.css and my custom site-wide stylesheet are constant throughout my site.  
Or are they?

Or am I missing something about how Dokuwiki uses HTTP, whose subtleties I'm 
not familiar with?

Also, I'm curious about why I can't load and view the generated stylesheet, 
while the browser can when loading it as a stylesheet.
