The time it takes to insert an include is negligible, though I grant you
that it's existent. 

The difference between <link> and an include, bandwidth-wise, is just about
zero. Actually, the include would save you one line. 

SSI doesn't require the escaping of any characters, and won't interfere with
code validity at all. It's done with a tag that looks like a comment, and
the included file should also be written in valid html.
