I agree with Daniel on this.
Consider the following:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="default.css" title="Preferred">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="green.css" title="Forest">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="forest.css" title="Forest">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="blue.css" title="Ocean">
<link rel="alternate stylesheet" href="ocean.css" title="Ocean">
Now. Suppose:
1. I select Ocean from the Use Style menu.
2. The page scripts all style sheets disabled except forest.css
and blue.css
3. I open the Use Style menu again.
What do I see?
If enabling/disabling style sheets is the mechanism for selecting
among alternate styles, this is an ambiguous situation.
If enabling/disabling style sheets is orthogonal to selecting among
alternate styles, this situation is defined thus:
- Ocean is the selected style.
- All style sheets except forest.css and blue.css are disabled.
- Therefore, the only style sheet currently applied is blue.css.
