I don't agree, just as I don't agree that all proper C programs ought
to have all of their code in a single .c file with nary a #include to
be found.  CSS is coding, thus modularization and code reuse are just
as valid in its context as they are in Java, PHP, C, et al.

I don't want to include the contents of my reset.css in every stinking
CSS doc that I author.  It's inefficient, it's messy and it leads to
all sorts of nastiness down the road.
