Upgrade StorageAutomatic updating of .csl files not hosted at the repository
I'm working with colleagues to tweak a Harvard style to accommodate our organization's own house style. While we're in this development/trial and error phase, is there a way of hosting the file on my own webspace, putting the address in the <link> field and getting Zotero to automatically download the updates so that I don't have to keep emailing the file and informing colleagues to update the style?
Looking at the information about the <link> field here http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/11946/style-error-mla/ I've experimented by changing the URL to the place where I've hosted it but when I look at the date in the Zotero preferences pane, it clearly hasn't picked up the new file. Any suggestions, or is this only something that can be done when it's hosted at the Zotero repository?

It's not unreasonable to post even an imperfect style to the Zotero repository, and you could even request SVN access and update the file yourself. Plenty of styles go through many revisions, even after being posted to the repository.
By accident, I've noticed that having uploaded a new version to my server, when I go to the URL for the file, Firefox automatically asks me if I'd like to update my style with the newer version from the server - which is half-automated and will save people from having to manually deal with attached files on emails for the time being.
