In our experience it's better to just have the HTML pages
link to the style sheet files, and keep them in a directory
that is publicly accessible.

If your CSS files are large, you'll notice a reduction in bandwidth 
because most browsers will do another request, get a 304 from
the server, and not have to download anything else.  Same goes for
javascript ".js" files.

I noticed a site the other day that was over 80k to download.  38k
was javascript and stylesheet stuff that was being reloaded
on every page request.  Bandwidth reduction by 50% wouldn't have been
hard for them.  Granted most people aren't worried about bandwidth
costs, but a 50% reduction is page loading speed is something more
people seem to notice.
