Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Should <link rel="stylesheet"> work inside shadow DOM? (#530)

Hmm. I don't find that compelling, because as a web developer it seems like the same argument applies to multiple `<style>`s. That is, in theory it can be optimized so that the UA does not parse it multiple times or do other work, but in practice it is not guaranteed. (I think Apple has in fact stated they have such an optimization ready, whereas Google is pushing constructible stylesheets because they do not, if I recall previous discussions.)

Maybe it is an issue of degree of badness? Multi-parsing is not as bad as multi-fetching?

In general any asymmetry between `<style>` and `<link rel="stylesheet">` is really surprising for web devs IMO...
