Thanks for replying Tom, but this doesn't appear to be quite correct. 
According to some sources on the 'net, you CAN put EL expressions in 
static CSS resources:

background:url("#{resource['sunny:images/header.png']}")

<http://primefaces.prime.com.tr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3774&start=0>

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" 
href="#{request.contextPath}/css/theme/login.css" />

<http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1717161&tstart=-2&messageID=7177962>

This works because apparently when you load with a Faces tag like 
h:outputStylesheet, it emits HTML that loads the static resource through 
the Faces servlet.  For example, this:

<h:outputStylesheet name="css/login.css" />

renders as this:

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" 
href="/solicitacoes/javax.faces.resource/css/login.css.xhtml" />

where "solicitacoes" is apparently the web context root.

I really appreciated you guys trying to help me out, but I'm really 
frustrated at the lack of a single, authoritative source where all this 
is spelled out.  I looked in the JSF 2.1 spec and it barely even 
mentions h:outputStylesheet, and certainly doesn't discuss its tags or 
parameters anywhere that I could find.
