I was reading through the 'Containment in HTML' section of the CSS1
specification (again) in an attempt to fully understand LINKing and
@importing, and here's what it says:
"The 'LINK' element references alternative style sheets that the reader can
select, while imported style sheets are automatically merged with the rest
of the document."
Now, I seem to recall from reading Lie and Bos (although it's at home, so I
can't check it right now) that the first LINK is in fact applied to the
document as a sort of 'default,' and subsequent LINKed style sheets are
provided as alternatives in a pop-up menu or something along those lines.
Is my recollection correct? Or should browsers not apply any LINKed
styles until requested by the reader? I would have looked to the CSS2
specification for help, but LINK doesn't appear in the Index, and I still
haven't found a section of the new spec. which summarizes containment as
neatly as CSS1 did.
(ObCompatabilityNote: regardless of the actual answer, neither of the
Big Two Browsers handle LINK correctly-- it's treated as another @import,
when it's treated at all...)
