OK. For the record, I really don't want to be a dick here, but I think what follows comes across that way. I'm quite sorry for not being able to communicate myself in a less jerk-y way; hopefully you won't be too offended. There's no way I'm adding text like that to the staticfiles documentation. Not in a million years. It's confusing to me, and *I've* been following this discussion. Can you imagine how confusing that's going to be to people who *haven't*? The vast majority of users aren't going to know what the heck an "asset manager" is, what this "standards-complient" business is, or why they should care. They're reading this document because they want to get a CSS file up onto a production server somewhere. That's it. You're proposing that we hit them over the head with this need to evaluate asset managers (whatever those are) for standards compliance (whatever that means) and you're chastising them for not understanding what's going on. Then you mention an "official Django standard" without mentioning what that standard is. Worse, we've never had "official Django standards" before, and I'm sure not going to start with anything that high-falutin' now. As far as I can understand from the vast reams you've written so far, what you're basically saying is "if you use url() in a CSS file it needs to point to an URL that actually exists." I'm pretty sure most people are smart enough to figure that out. At this point I'm checking out of this conversation until I see an *actual* bug report from an *actual user. If you'd like to propose a standard for asset managers go right ahead -- you've got a blog and plenty of clout. If it catches on, maybe we'll add something to the docs. Later.
