It means parsing the list of file and before processing checking the mime type on the server. If mime type is not "text/css", ignore it. 55577 2 ylafon 2011-08-22 11:42:43 +0000 I created the test at http://www.w3.org/2011/08/css-tc/759-1.html It tests stylesheet links with CSS and non-CSS type information stylesheet links with no type information, and sent using CSS and non CSS media type non-stylesheet link with CSS type. The current version fail only on the non-CSS type styleshet link served as text/plain, which should be ignored.
