Actually, the location of CSS and scripts ARE important. If you look at 
the performance research done by Yahoo at 
<http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/index.html#rules>, rules 5 and 6 
talk about putting the CSS as high in the code as possible and the 
script code as low in the code as possible.
