Persistent CSS

Things are coming along on the new map, feel free to grab the map.py
macro and play with it.

I was wondering though, if I need some CSS to make the map looks good
and deal with the legend etc where should I put the code so that it's
cached and already loaded with the main stylesheets. Or should I put the
reference in the map macro code?

Thanks,
Alex

Yeah, I'd say a map.css file is best.  It wouldn't need to be versioned on the individual wikis.

You can just output the CSS directly into the page.  Just put some XXX TODO s around it in the code and I can fix it
up when we merge it into trunk.
