Not particularly. If that person is a user, it's just as easy; they can
write a user-based style rule that will override it.
If that person is a designer working with the page, and only that page,
it's actually easier to change the style if it's on the page (it's only
one file to open).
However, if the same styles are used on various HTML pages, it much
easier to have the CSS in a separate, linked file (again, it's only one
file to open). Having a separate style sheet also makes download times
faster (as the CSS file is normally cached), and ensures that the change
is made site-wide. Generally, I have my CSS in a separate file.
