Why do we have a such difficult way to add a stylesheet to a page?I mean javascript we add like\[code\]<script src="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14612839/nope.js"></script>\[/code\]and inline is\[code\]<script> alert("I refuse.");</script>\[/code\]but styles is a story apart inline is\[code\]<style> * { color:white; background:white; }</style>\[/code\]and a file is \[code\] <link href="http://stackoverflow.com/themes/black-wide.css?r=2408" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">\[/code\]Why do we need to use link?isn't it more logical to use \[code\]<style src="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14612839/style.css"></style>\[/code\]instead of link?Why is this like that?EDITjust to make it more clear.WHY in do we need to use link instead of style to point to a css file.
