I have a little doubt about that, but per mention in the original email,
it means storing a lot more stylesheets and ones that may change with
more frequency than the project. It may not be too much of an issue, but
I do want to note that. I'm somewhat ambivalent myself, but my
preference is to have the single source of truth.

Anyway, attached is a first attempt at a patch. I tried a few different
variations but in my quick review of it, I could not figure out how to
make a XSLT respect having multiple stylesheets (likely due to my lack
of familiarity with XSLT).

This just swaps out the link. A better approach would be to find a way
to include multiple CSS stylesheets. After searching over a bunch of
different terms, I could not figure out how to get to this result, but
as mentioned, I'm close to clueless on writing XSLT at this point.

Another way we could get to the desired result add something to pgweb
similar to the old "docs.css" that is being referenced that combines the
multiple stylesheets into one. It's a bit of an anti-pattern in modern
web, so I'm not thrilled to go down that route.
