My first instinct was to say NOOOOO! lol, but I actually tested it on a HTML page and it seemed to work just fine. I moved my entire syle sheet link <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" title="Style Sheet" type="text/css"> just believe the <body> tag and when I called up the page... there it was looking fine. I tested in IE and firefox. Now, I don't know how it would work with your idea or what kind of problems this might present to other browsers (or even 'behind the scenes' issues) but it looked okay on the surface, at least with a HTML page.
