Support external CSS style sheets

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please support style sheets in external files using the xml-stylesheet 
processing instruction:

     <?xml-stylesheet href="style.css" type="text/css"?>

I second this request.  I have an existing project that presently works fine in 
all
browsers besides IE (http://gatorswamp.org/tock.do).  Once svgweb supports 
external
linking of CSS and JS files within the SVG document, I will be able to have IE 
as
well.  Great work so far, least my SVG renders now in IE !!!

This is a very valid requirement to have support for external style sheets. 
Most of the  
implementation often separate the styling specifications. This should supported 
on 
priority.

This is one critical requirement to support the existing applications without 
having 
to change their implementations. This really should be supported on priority. 
Its 
high time for applications to decide on adopting alternative technologies to 
continue supporting features. It would be a severe blow to SVG as a technolgy 
if 
people start migrating to alternatives due to prolonged lack of support of such 
a 
critical feature as this.

I agree this is a critical issue, but we don't even have inline CSS support yet 
(i.e.
<style>circle { fill: red; }</style>. I don't foresee engineering cycles from 
anyone
on the team to implement this anytime soon. A well engineered patch from you 
that
implemented this would be _very_ desirable. :)

Is there any more word on when this feature will be completed? I am burning my 
own cycles trying to get REALLY SIMPLE things working with svgweb.

No one is currently working on this feature; it depends on CSS <style> blocks 
being more robust in general (issue 189). If this is critical to your schedule 
creating a patch that implements it would be nice.
