Slam 7atem. It is really on of the best presentation I have read about CSS. I have one comment regarding having on master CSS file. For the performance issue it is advisable to have less number of files and to call it directly from the HTML file. doing this will reduce the HTTP calls

Thanks Saeed. This extra HTTP call would happen just once as your CSS would be cached. And you get extra benefits in return.
