           Summary: 'script' and 'style' are not consistent. 'script' have

                    attribute. If the 'script' element is the cousin of
                    'style', then why doesn't both none of them have the

Comment:
'script' and 'style' are not consistent.
'script' have a 'src' attribute, but 'style' does not have a 'src' attribute.
If the 'script' element is the cousin of 'style', then why doesn't both none
of them have the src attribute?

'link' is used to load style sheets, but not scripts.

Why is that you load CSS with link, but not JavaScript with link?
Both JavaScript and CSS are external resources and should be loaded in the
same way.

If scripts are loaded with the 'script' element, then why are not style sheets
loaded with the 'style' element?

== Consistent (Good) ==
<script src="script.js">
<style src="style.css">

== Consistent (Good) ==
<link src="script.js">
<link src="style.css">

== Inconsistent (Bad) ==
<link src="script.js">
<style src="style.css">
