No, you do want the '!'. Without it, you may simply pull in a file from
~/.vim/syntax/css.vim that sets a handful of variables or something like
that to be used by $VIMRUNTIME/syntax/css.vim, and not actually get the
CSS highlighting itself pulled in at all. Needless to say, that could be
tremendously unhelpful and annoying.
