CUSTOMIZE - Ability to provide Custom CSS via a Plugin

This could be used later to add additional "metanav-left" menues.
Is there a mechanism available to provide CSS alterations via a Plugin
(something like TemplateProvider)?
If not, could a direct addition to the trac.css go into the 0.10
version of trac (non-intrusive, non-alteration, additional CSS)?

hacks. You can look at Alec's demo Trac for the Python people for an
example of a vertical menu.

Which I based on Christopher's bitten site.

ok.
I will most possibly integrate a generic java-script vertical menu into
trac. This work is part of my website/trac unification, and will be
made available under open source.
I have updated based on your information my personal selection case
(which selects trac):

As I can rate it, the python project's decision should become either
trac or roundup.
Is there a deadline for the decision?

The CallForTrackers page indicates that they'll probably make their
recommendation in October.

After looking a little more at this:
I would like to create a plugin, which would provide 2 additional
menues:
1.) "projectnav" - left aligned, in the line of the "metanav" menue
This would be used e.g. for the "Project Guide" link, which is
currently within the metanav menu, see:
http://case.lazaridis.com/wiki
2.) "backnav" - left aligned, in the line of the "contextnav" menue (of
the wiki)
This could be used to add e.g. Wiki-Backlinks (e.g. from a rewritten
macro "AutoNav", which would use the "MenuProvider" functionality to
add the entries).
I could do all the implementation, but would need some hints on how to
implement the plugin in the best way (ideally in a way that would keep
the code integratable into to main trac code base).

options include creating the new DOM elements for the menu items and
moving them in to place in JavaScript (see the CtxtnavAddPlugin for an
example), and using a combination of a new header.cs (using the same
technique as TracTags to force its use) and a request filter to add in
the new items. A better answer is "wait until Markup" as that will allow
for things like DOM transforms on the fly.

The menues can be implemented with 4 lines of CSS/HTML:

plugin works, it handles things a bit more flexibly.

Possibly to a later point.
For now my problem is solved.
