This statement is true for Mozilla. Opera, however, discards entities
other than  '&lt;', '&gt;', '&quot;', '&amp;' and '&apos;'. Style
elements and attributes are ignored, the link element doesn't work
either for stylesheets, so the only way to link to an external CSS is a
XML processing instruction.
