[OpenLayers-Dev] CSS support

[Cameron Shorter]

I'm pretty gun shy when it comes to CSS. I've seen a number of attempts 
to use CSS which worked on one browser, but not on another, or caused 
funny things to happen when you create a small or big window, or ...

Consequently, I think the CSS expertise amongst developers is a lot 
lower than Javascript expertise and I think we should be wary of asking 
developers to use CSS.

This is unfortunate because the vision of CSS is great. I just think we 
need to be careful where we apply it.
