er does it really?

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="Site CSS" href="includes/site.css" />

I'm pretty sure the url is ./includes/site.css i.e. the include subdir of the
dir in which the html file that includes the link tag is in. if you move the
html file up or down a dir then the link to the css file will break....

maybe browsers are smart enough to also check /includes/site.css
