I think cascading stylesheets using relative file notation provide the
same benefit. Note "think" since its been a while since I implemented my
org solution for my small web.

You need to add it to each file if its a file specific style - that's
fine. But that can mix with the cascaded style method I suggested. The
benefit of the simple method I outlined is that you still (or already)
also have a specific style sheet for the project level or directory
too. A good place to add sub web specific look and feel should you want.

Assuming it is a web specific style this is not necessary using cascades
as I outlined and which also works with out "real host" testing. I can
see this being possibly necessary when you want to borrow other peoples
styles however.

This has further ramifications I think. Namely including things
relative. e.g sub dir in a web http:/web/proj1. Normally if I do not
provide a full URL I want it relative. e.g "url:./images/proj1.jpg"
