What Hacker News says?
Not true. Even in h2, the browser will first parse the HTML to discover the `<link rel=stylesheet>` and it'll then go issue that request. In h2 it'll reuse the TCP connection (which is a win), but you've still got to round trip to start receiving the stylesheet response body.
