Re: Flash of Unstyled Content

Cheers Thomas.

Yeah, I appreciate I might be making a rod for my back here. If
ClientBundle were the only GWT feature I were planning to use, and
there was another spriting solution with proper i18n support, I might
well take another route. As it is, I'll think I'll cautiously look
into writing my own Linker.

Thanks very much for the tips,
Kris
