Talking about style. For CSS we might need to fetch the stylesheet
first before parsing the HTML. 

So ideally we need something like:

* Parse header, determine charset and stylesheet, start 
downloading stylesheet
* Start tokenizing
* When stylesheet becomes available start parsing

Tokenizing and parsing are continuous processes, they end when
the end of the HTML has been reached. However, we don't wait 
for all HTML before we start parsing. 

(We should also get rid of these "blocking tokens" in the 
tokenizer)

Cheers,
Waldo
