[PLUG] CSS file name curiosity

I was viewing the source to a web page I retrieved and saw
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/default/files/css/04b371acb6269192bb0f071989867540.css"
/>

Hmmmh?   That's a strange name for a css file.   When I open another browser I see:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" href="/sites/default/files/css/04b371acb6269192bb0f071989867540.css"
/>

Same thing, BTW the browsers were Konqueror and Firefox.  My cookies from the site don't contain that string.  The
Firefox cookies do include a session ID.  

I'm thinking the 04b371acb6269192bb0f071989867540.css is a link to some regular file name like non-ie-browsers.css or
perhaps it's an auto-generated css based on a mix of parameters.  But why, as in what's the point?

Ideas?

The site is http://www.mercycorps.org/ and I suspect it is Drupal driven.
