While we're being HTML nazis...

14.3.2 Specifying external style sheets

Authors specify external style sheets with the following attributes of
the LINK element:

* Set the value of href to the location of the style sheet file. The
  value of href is a URI.
* Set the value of the type attribute to indicate the language of
  the linked (style sheet) resource. This allows the user agent to
  avoid downloading a style sheet for an unsupported style sheet
  language.
* Specify that the style sheet is persistent, preferred, or
  alternate:
  o To make a style sheet persistent, set the rel attribute to
    "stylesheet" and don't set the title attribute.
  o To make a style sheet preferred, set the rel attribute to
    "stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title attribute.
  o To specify an alternate style sheet, set the rel attribute to
    "alternate stylesheet" and name the style sheet with the title
    attribute.

ruby-lang.org's style sheets are set like this:
<link rel=3D"stylesheet" href=3D"/en/ruby-lang.css" type=3D"text/css"
media=3D"all">
<link rel=3D"Alternate stylesheet" title=3D"for large font"
href=3D"ruby-lang.large.css" type=3D"text/css" media=3D"all">

So /en/ruby-lang.css should be applied for _all_ views, and
ruby-lang.large.css should be applied only when the user requests that
the UA apply it.  If you remove the title attribute for the alternate
style sheet the document is still valid HTML4.01 strict, but the UA
should ignore the style sheet, as it is neithor a persistent, preferred,
nor alternate style sheet.
