[Laszlo-user] Modular and Styled OL Application

[Leonardo Mateo]

Hello everybody. I'm new to the list. I tried with te forum but, after a few 
days, the admin seems not to authorize me to post messages.
So, I'm doing a research about OL and studying the feasibility of implementing 
OL as a RIA client to a SOA system. Besides, I want to compare it with Adobe 
Flex technology which I have some experience with. I don't want to start a 
flame war here, just want to know OL better to determine which one suits 
better to my system. 

So far, OL has convinced me, but there are 2 aspects which, I think, still 
lack some maturity:
1 - Modularization in SOLO mode.
2 - Stylesheets.

The thing is that I don't know if I'm missing the point here, not finding the 
right documentation or if it really is as I think it is.
About point 1, I can't find a clean way of doing modules or libraries of 
classes as an swf file and reference it from my application later.

About point 2, I really don't like how it is implemented, specially because, I 
don't think this respects the concept of a CSS since you have to specify 
every attribute twice (in the CSS declaration and in the tag declaration). 
Besides, I can't find an easy way of changing the component look and feel 
through CSS.

Can anybody point me to the right direction of doing this? or even better, to 
the right direction where to find the best documentation for this?

Thanx a lot in advance and sorry for the length of this post.
