Hi Matthew

One more quick question about this stuff:

Given this description, it sounds like including other stylesheets on  
the page causes problems. Doesn't this defeat some of the purpose of  
CSS, that is, to be able to provide page specific stylesheets as well  
as global stylesheets?

Using your styler code, what would be the appropriate strategy for  
using an "admin console" specific plain CSS stylesheet on admin pages?

Thanks,

Travis
