We need to discuss how we are going to best solve the issue of auto updating the rendering engine.

When an author links to a stylesheet, the version of HSS that is used needs to be declared, like so:

This way, whenever a newer version is required, the rendering engine will check if such a version is available, and if so, prompt the user to update to the latest version.

Now, we need to find a great cross platform solution, or discuss the merits of doing each platform separately. One interesting project I've found on this regard: http://code.google.com/p/update-engine/ and Sparkle: http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/ but they are only for OSX. How is auto update usually done on windows?
