...but other than that, no.  We can put the implementation up for the  
current version in the sandbox, but the README and the interfaces are  
the most pertinent bits.

A story that I find pretty compelling is a page of JSR-168-like  
portlets.  The user might add any kind of portlet.  The portlet might  
need any sort of JS or CSS.  The portlet might include an  
automatically generated form, which might have a widget, which might  
need any sort of JS or CSS.

A solution is  needed unless you demand that the portlet page load  
all possible JS and CSS all the time, or that you have a very tight  
coupling between the widgets and the portlets, and the portlets and  
the surrounding page (...and you can imagine, and we even have  
concretely, other examples, of things that the portlet might  
contain...).

This same sort of thing would be true for CPSSkins code, as I  
understand it.

You could also be asking about the pipeline ideas, but that's not my  
first guess. :-)
