Matt,
Core module css should always load in a persistent stylesheet. Currently
module css is loaded dynamically with @import and it's availability
isn't guaranteed.

Current example:
<style type="text/css"> @import url("./mod/controlpanel/templates/style.css"); </style>
<style type="text/css"> @import url("./themes/zen/templates/controlpanel/style.css"); </style>
<link rel="stylesheet"  href="./themes/zen/style.css" type="text/css" />

Proposed example:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./core/style.css" type="text/css" />
<style type="text/css"> @import url("./mod/pagemaster/templates/style.css"); </style>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./themes/zen/style.css" title="zen" type="text/css" />

css class reuse:
pagemaster mod wants to use the ????? class in controlpanel with a
slight modification. In the first case the modified css will only work
when controlpanel is active. In the proposal the controlpanel css is
always available for pagemaster to modify.

Does that make sense?

        Note: this is part of the reason I called for a single @import
        of loaded module css (controlled by boost) in the preferred
        stylesheet in my descendant selectors prof-of-concept.
