The WHATWG meeting brought up a major backwards compat issue around this proposed solution: it would load the whole document and treat it as a stylesheet in browsers that don't support this feature. I see now that this drawback is not defined in the explainer. I'm sure that this issue is solvable (e.g. with an explicit `type` attribute? a new rel?) but perhaps we should solve that before implementing? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
