In the future, 5.4, we'll have CSS aggregation which will include
parsing the CSS files and rewriting url() elements ... and the value
will be passed through AssetPathConverter.
I also have some thoughts about having a web-service whose job is to
create an inventory of static and virtual assets that can be used to
drive the copying of files from the Tapestry app to a CDN. Something
like "/assets/inventory" that returns a JSON document describing the
available assets. The trick is finding them all, especially all the
ones buried on the classpath!
