Firefox supports this, no other browser does. Chromium is currently not interested. This is largely a tracking issue to see if any second-implementer interest materializes.

The spec currently does not: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#link-type-stylesheet says

The process a link header steps for this type of linked resource are to do nothing.

If we were to work on this we'd need to figure out the various complications mentioned in #4224 (comment).

Remove reference to integrating stylesheet Links

Closes #4224. That issue was about the general lack of specification for the Link header, which has been resolved. #8741 tracks potentially adding Link header support for rel=stylesheet, but there's no need to retain notices in the spec about the possibility of this nonstandard feature. (The note was also quite incomplete, as it didn't talk about things like the cascade, document.styleSheets, etc.)

This adds "has `Link` processing" to the link types table, which currently only has "Yes" values for preload and preconnect.
