Although functionally referencing an external stylesheet would be fine it may not prove to be the best for the end-user as they essentially would be giving up (and likely without their knowledge) control over their site's look and feel.<br>
It should be an unwritten expectation the Theme's stylesheet(s) are included with the Theme itself and are not affected or offset by any external sources unless optionally provided by the Theme / end-user interaction.<br>
<br>That being the case, accepting the use of "external stylesheets" might be considered but only as an optional feature not as the primary source of the Theme's styles.<br><br><br clear="all">Cais.<br>

Is it ok to reference external style sheets in themes, for example:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/" target="_blank">http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/</a><br>
<br>
Or rather even having the style sheet stored where you host the theme?<br>
