One issue worth considering here: there are various situations (CSP, extension) in which a browser would like to know what sort of resource is being loaded, or more precisely how it will be consumed, before loading it. From that point of view, adding a way to customize fetch paramaters on <link rel="stylesheet"> or some other mechanism that tells the UA up front what is being fetched is vastly preferable to taking an existing fetch and synthesizing a stylesheet from it, because it provides a lot more control to the user agent and user's extensions. -Boris
