Just put them in as link elements in the head. 
http://www.eng.dmu.ac.uk/aeg/
is an example I made.
Firefox shows them in the View -> Page Style -> [...]  menu

That's right, but I see you are using XHTML rather than HTML.

The XHTML does not.  The docs on XHTML tell me that link is in a
separate module.  I don't know how you "include" that or even
"require" its definition.  I've never got into XHTML in a big way,
but then I've found the terminology of XML with its DSSSL, XSLT, etc
pretty imprenetrable anyway.  So, either it is a fairly subtle xhtml
bug, or it is a bug in Firefox 1.04.  If your page were HTML it
would be right except for the closing /> (which I was surprised the
HTML validator barked at, preferring >, but it did when I used it in
HTML).  So, I don't know what is going on here.

If Internet Explorer can do anything with these style sheet defs it
isn't letting on! I can see no controls for seeing alternative
stylesheets from with I.E. at all.
