In my opinion, the policy of the second document.  Which should be fine, 
as long as the server properly sends "Vary: referrer" in cases in which 
it actually cares about the referrer (good luck to us with that).

Why does it even matter that another document referenced the "same" 
stylesheet? The two documents have distinct stylesheet objects...
