Since each common stylesheet like main.css or section.css will only need
to be fetched on the first page that needs it, and cached for any
subsequent pages, I think the overhead issue should be under control.

Actually use of the title attribute designates a stylesheet as
preferred. Setting the rel attribute to "alternate stylesheet" and
using the title attribute designates a stylesheet as alternate. I did
read something about setting title to the same value in several link
elements combines the sheets into one, which might impact the cascade,
but it's not obvious to me how or if it really does. It's an HTML
issue, but it impacts the css.
