I don't think the link should generate HTML. The link should
just connect you to a CSS peer object. I think the entity responsible
for triggering CSS rendering should be the Page if it's inline or the
component that links to it if it's external (the external file is only
rendered the first time, even if it's linked to by multiple
components).
