Actually, not necessarily, unless you're referring to XHTML. HTML
processors may treat BODY as the root of rendered content, and HEAD content
may be unrenderable. Read the caveats in CSS2 carefully.

Perhaps, but it won't be just based on the stylesheet - CSS cannot set up
hyperlinks. This semantic would have to be cooked in the UA.
Except, of course, you could do this in stylesheets (in a way) with actions
or behaviors, but they aren't in a Recommended version of CSS yet.
