16kb is nothing… :-) Besides, you should gzip your stylesheets on your live server to guarantee a faster download / transfer. And consider minifying them. (sending a 100kb gzipped stylesheet is probably not a good idea…, having a 16kb stylesheet for a 2 page website would probably point to serious issues on the conceptual design of said site) The bigger limits: IE up to v9 has a limit of 4095 selectors per stylesheet, and can only load a maximum of 32 stylesheets (other browsers don't have that limit). > is that a big concern, or is the human angle a bigger deal in terms of > keeping everything straight? The human angle is important, in terms of management, but has not much to do with the file size.
