Description
both outputStylesheet and outputScript should be able to take a URL instead of a
resource target - there are times when you want to serve things from someone
else's machine, such as Yahoo or Google.
One use case for this change: You are writing a composite component, which uses
Google's service to load CSS (such as when you use the YUI components). This
means that you currently must either require users to put a `` tag in the
header, which is clearly undesirable, or that you need to use only local files,
which can in many cases offer worse performance.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing how outputScript and outputStylesheet currently resolve resource targets. Check how a URL target could be distinguished from an existing resource target, then verify that external script and stylesheet URLs are rendered correctly for the composite-component use case described in the issue.
