Definition and Usage
The type attribute specifies the media type of the linked document/resource.
The most common value of type is "text/css". If you omit the
type attribute,
the browser will look at the rel attribute to guess the correct type. So, if rel="stylesheet",
the browser will assume the type is "text/css".
