Yes, and that is far simpler/more readable. I've updated the patch to do that.

It couldn't hurt! (For reference: this is not technically necessary because the
Chromium instability is limited to "alternate" stylesheets with a non-empty
`name` attribute. In those cases, it exhibits a strange "deferred loading"
behavior: the resource is fetched, and that operation influences the timing of
the `onload` event, but it does not block page evaluation (despite the `<link>`
tag being declared in the head).
