I don't have a problem with it, in fact the site I'm working on at the moment has 30 separate style sheets. However, remember that every style sheet will be a separate HTTP connection to retrieve it, so no matter how fast someone's connection is, they still have to make multiple HTTP requests to download all the documents, thus slowing down the site. Once the style sheets are cached then this delay will be reduced.

It's quite long as the design spec dictates a number of different pages be layed-out differently. Accordingly, its becoming quite tedious to find certain style blocks that need to be altered/tweaked as development continues. So, I'm beginning to think that the better way to accomplish this is to attach a "global" sheet in the head that would take care of all "generic" issues and page requirements. Then, in those pages that need "special handling" I would attached separate sheets that would address page-specific requirements. BTW: This site is a dynamic one (php) so these special-case pages are "included" depending on query-string variables/conditions. What do the good folks say here about this particular topic? Is this a normal (and preferred) workflow when one has to deal with long and unwieldy style sheets? Are there any "best practice" guidelines for such an issue?
