HTTP Link headers [was: Re: <link> vs <style></style>]

Hi

It's great that Mozilla will support this sometime :-)

One question, the stuff in the HTML4 spec about linking to style sheets
in HTTP headers:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.6

was written before media types were introduced in CSS2:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html

So would the following work and/or be valid?

Link: </css/print.css>; rel="stylesheet"; title="Print"; media="print"
