Comment (by tellyworth):

 One issue that's related to the stylesheet location is that in 2.5.0, you
 can't have multiple galleries on one page with different numbers of
 columns.  It looks like Andy's patch will fix this.

 I'd advocate serving up a static external stylesheet rather than making it
 dynamic.  Though it would initially have only the gallery styles in it,
 the static stylesheet could eventually contain default styles for other
 built-in shortcodes and content-related things.

 Seems to me that the cost of scanning forward for {{{[gallery]}}} tags and
 conditionally including an inline stylesheet is out of proportion to the
 (minor) benefit of not serving up the gallery stylesheet on pages that
 don't use it.

 As for the_excerpt: what about a toggle or wrapper function that would
 temporarily disable shortcode parsing and just return the literal
 "[gallery]" instead?
