It is a personal preference thing. I prefer option 2 with an ID on
the body element. I've used section specific stylesheets before, but
in my case it didn't work real well because our developers started
copy and pasting common stuff into multiple sections. I prefer 1 (or
a few) well commented sheets. Option 2 can be more efficient for the
client because it caches well and lowers the number of requests the
browser has to make.
