The reason it worked for NS4 is that we "inline" the stylesheet for NS4
as a workaround for its brokenness with respsct to stylesheets referenced
via the '<link type="stylesheet"...>' construct.

Another option:  since you probably customized the 'standard_html_header'
anyway, you could inline the stylesheet in it, rather than using
'css_inline_or_link':

   <dtml-var css_inline_or_link>

would be replaced with:

      <style type="text/css">
      <!--
      <dtml-var default_stylesheet>
        -->
      </style>
