Yes, Quanta definitely needs attention there.

I would say the best preview would be the file I am working with but an option 
to show something else is good. 
My dreamed CSS editor will be in a toolview and you will see the results 
directly in the main editor area, either in code or in a KHTML part.

I don't get this? You mean during editing of an CSS file you want to assign it 
to an HTML and they should be automaticly linked in the head section? If you 
really want this be carefull because order is important. If you link two or 
more CSS files you can get different results if they are in different order! 
This makes it complicated because you will have to be able to define the 
position in the HTML file. I do not know if it worse to make this.

I do not see a need for this yet.

I would love to have a integrated approach tag/file/linked CSS in one place in 
a toolview.

I like this kind of cooperation, thank you.
