I did acknowledge my miscommunication. I should have written 'css
links'. However, it *was* just a comment and I didn't think anyone
would misunderstand my meaning and I certainly didn't think anyone
would think I mixed my DOCTYPE and CSS.

What's on the left side of an extension is kind of a personal choice,
isn't it? It can be whatever I want it to be. To be honest, I don't
think I'll ever give credit to anyone anywhere for exceeding my own
filename conventions. Remember, it was just a comment. I don't even
have a file named css.php and, if I did, that would be my personal
preference.

It indicates nothing. They're comments.

Go to the top 100 major sites on the Internet and tell me if you find
one that has only one CSS file. If you find just one, I'll go along
with your idea.
