LINK can have a TITLE attribute;

You must be especially careful about the order of the LINKs
when you have stylesheets with "media=print", too.

Some (older) browsers like Mozilla 1.7 let the reader disable a stylesheet
only when it has a TITLE.

I see the browser allows the choice/application of either stylesheet.
My original thought was about what difference it makes to "combine
sheets into one" as opposed to sequentially applying them, but trying to
figure It out gave me too big a headache for too little return on
investment (i.e. I know how sequential application works, and it's not
worth seeing if "combining as one sheet" is any different).

for example if I link sheet1.css and sheet2.css, in that order, and both
have different style for #notes, the style specified in sheet2 is
applied since it is applied last.

I was talking about sequential link elements, and commented about the
use of a common value for the title attribute (of the link element).
Since the html spec for link specifically mentions "The title attribute
has an additional role when used with the LINK element..."

Not sure if the distortion was the fault of the transmitter or the
receiver. I'll try to be clearer without implying unmentioned/unassumed
is synonymous with clueless as some here do <g>.
