Agreed, and an answer to this is to have the external style sheet
address in the HTTP headers, so the request for the css file can be sent
after the headers of the html file have been returned:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#h-14.6

However I've not come across sites using this, is it supported in any
browsers?
