Maybe everything exists in Plone to do it, but I couldn't find the way to do
it.
Here's my use case:

Right now, as far I as can see, dtml is still in usage in CMFPlone,
but I want to be able to provide dynamic css files with a modern templating
system. 

Using PageTemplates instead of dtml would be doable, but the xml-like syntax
would obfuscate a bit the files.

z3c.zrtresource is a nice solution because you can do some templating from 
commands that are located within /* comments */ in .js and .css files.

See Stephan's blog about it here:
http://www.lovelysystems.com/srichter/2006/09/20/the-skin-browser-and-lovely-systems-new-development-workflow/

This makes the css and js file still valid if you work with third-party
designers

So I was wondering:

1. are they similar tools already in Plone ?
2. what are the plans for Plone dtml files that are used for css and js ? (I
should ask this one in Core@ maybe)
