It could be the page http://swpat.ffii.org/log/04/cons0518/index.de.html
contained some invalid HTML or a mistake that said that the stylesheet
was located at http://localhost/ffii/verein/webstyl/news.css.  This
would cause WWWOFFLE or your browser to ask the local Apache for the
stylesheet which would explain the log message.

It will not be WWWOFFLE just trying the local HTTP server for the
page.  It would only be if there was a link to a URL with a hostname
that was localhost.
