Usually (is good) but not necessarily. It can be in the head of a document,
or you can -- of course -- style individual elements. Although this does
kind of lead away from the road of "why css is a 'Good Idea'

NO!
WYSIWYG is a software design concept that predates the web. It refers to
*any* software tool that presents the information entered in the form that
it will be output. In many respects, the other areas of WYSIWYG are far more
correct usages, as (for example) a WYSIWYG word processor will present the
information supplied exactly as it will be printed out, whereas a "WYSIWYG"
web editor is probably better described as "WYSIWYMGIYAVVL" (What You See Is
What You Might Get If You Are Very Very Lucky)
