Susan, I like to see the comment with the code, but lengthy comments about design choices, font usage and the like I would welcome being in a separate file. I think you could do this right now by modifying your code to include HTML within the comment (not sure if it's safe or valid). >/* COMMENTS <URL:http://www.example.com/css/comments.htm> */ Is /* <h3>COMMENTS</h3> <a href="http://www.example.com/css/comments.htm"> */ valid? Then the style sheet could be loaded into the browser for reading. Adding a rule for comments would allow CSS editors to automatically insert/show/hide comments. As to download speed, linked style sheets come from the cache so the improvement on most pages would be only on initial download.
