Hi there,

at least for developers i think the way how css is treated should be 
generally refactored. A few points about this:

Styles in the page html: is a bad default. as soon as you have a few 
extensions installed your css becomes a major part of html size.
Styles of extensions *everywhere* - that is something i never 
understood. Why is the css for "new login box" for example present on 
every page by default, even though i need it only on one page?
In general: Avoiding overuse of styles in extensions. Typo3 "core" or at 
least Typo3 "almost native" extensions should be stylefree to my 
opinion. The current default is like coming to a party and therefore 
bringing your own furniture because you don´t like the intererieur of 
the host.

What do you think?

- Johannes
