Reduction test case. HTML file and two stylesheets

Summary:  If you have two stylesheets loaded like this, each with a title attribute, the second stylesheet is ignored!


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="first.css" title="ddsmoothmenu" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="second.css" title="xx" />


To reproduce:  

1. Open the reduction test case (attached), problem.html

What should happen:  You should see a blue background and a note indicating that the second stylesheet loaded.

What happens: You see a yellow background, indicating that the first but not the second stylesheet loaded.


Regression:

This happens on both TOT and the released Safari 4 version of WebKit.

You can make this problem go away several ways:
* Remove the title attribute from either the first or the second link tag
* Load a stylesheet with <style..>@import...

WebKit’s behavior matches both Firefox and Opera on your test case.  The title attribute on a link element containing a stylesheet marks the stylesheet as an alternate stylesheet, which are not loaded by default.  Firefox allows you to switch to the alternate stylesheet via the View -> Page Style menu.

Wow, that's subtle -- but, OK!  Thanks for the clarification Mark.
