I had often wondered what was wrong with my local web server taking so long to serve pages from my downloaded version of the w3.org HTML spec.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/TR/W3C-REC">

Now I know why... this is hardcoded into every page of the spec. Those of us with modems who aren't connected 24/7 download the html for a reason.
