why: <link rel="stylesheet" id="id">

Why would someone want to add an id to the link element? Also, has anyone heard of linking to a meta data file in HTML?

cheers, :cool:

One possibility…
An id or other custom attribute can be used as a means to reference particular stylesheets as part of a style-switching mechanism.

e.g.
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/alternate/

Umm... Bill's post more or less explained the reason for it existing, and it wouldn't exist in XHTML 1.1 if it was, as almost all legacy code was removed from it.
