Actually, I think they were following W3C recommendations:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#h-12.1.2
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles.html#style-external
***http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/links.html#adef-rel
Let me try this as a story problem:
If you were a browser, and you asked for HTML-FileA using an address given
to you by a link in another html file or a bookmark or the fingers of your
user, and then HTML-FileA said use CSSa for presentational effects, and the
href calling for CSSa used a relative address to indicate where to find
CSSa -- what's your point of reference for that relativity?
:)
I could be wrong. I's just trying it on fer size.
