This has been an item of discussion in the past. The current CSS1 specification reads: The 'LINK' element references alternative style sheets that the reader can select, while imported style sheets [in the STYLE element] are automatically merged with the rest of the style sheet. I.e., the STYLE element gives the style sheets to be applied automatically, while the LINK element refers to style sheets that can be manually selected. This policy allows both additive style sheets (a.la. "green-headers.css" + "wide-margins.css" + "all-italics.css") and alternative style sheets (a.la. "for-printers.css" / "for-the-wired-generation.css" / "old-and-wise.css") So, going back to Chris plans: if you apply all LINKed style sheets automatically, how would you indicate alternative style sheets?
