It might be worth testing which other browsers support it. I know at least 
Firefox supports associating a stylesheet with Link. It does seem like a fairly 
ill-conceived feature, but not so much that it is worth being the sole holdout, 
if other browser engines all do it. And there are some plausible use cases - 
same document served with multiple stylesheets, without having to modify the 
document on the fly, just the headers.
