Well, the whole UI is a little experimental, I'm definitely not opposed to

Yep, I agree that would be better. Right now one might end up thinking
something is not working.
About the SLD viewer, how about adding
http://softwaremaniacs.org/soft/highlight/en/ in the mix to
increase its readability?
* Map shows a live-updating openlayers map of the data being styled.
* Data shows the attributes with some statistics (Andrea, you've already
correctly noted that it might be useful to have the attribute names and
types without the min/max columns which can be slow to compute.)
I was thinking that we could add a button to compute them, and see if we
can stick them into the FeatureTypeInfo metadata map so that
they get remembered (pressing again the button would update them).
* Generated SLD shows the SLD equivalent of the CSS, this is what
GeoServer actually uses for map rendering.
* CSS reference just embeds the CSS page from the user manual. It's a
live link to docs.geoserver.org, but it might make sense to drop it or
replace it with something self-hosted.
Right. For the moment I'll just re-link it to latest docs, self hosted
would be better, but I don't see how to
make it work right now, given that the RST requires a different build
tooling and it's outside of the normal build
Cheers
