This is what I think should happen:
1.) UA determines which stylesheets are applicable according
to persistent/preferred/alternate rules, media, and
supported style languages.
2.) If there are stylesheets from more than one language
applicable, the UA uses only stylesheets from the first
language encountered (all of them). This follows the
precedent of "preferred" stylesheets--the first preferred
sheet is applied, as are any other later stylesheets that
are part of that set.
3.) If the language cannot cope with multiple stylesheets,
then only the first linked stylesheet is used.
Alternatively, later stylesheets could be favored.
