This is nothing new. I was playing with CSS applied to HTML2.0 (valid, of
course) quite some years ago, and I didn't find any CSS-aware browsers
back then which were upset by the lack of the type="text/css" on the
<link...>

It was a nice way to remedy the horrible default presentation which
browsers seemed to have copied from the original NCSA Mosaic, down the
years.

To do anything impressive, though, one has to be fairly creative to get
around the lack of a "class" attribute in HTML2.0. Ho hum. Pity that I
lost the test documents that I produced back then.
