I suspect the author was choosing his facts carefully to strengthen his point.
I see what you're saying, and I was wondering the same thing. However, having looked at the Bayeux Tapestry in your link, it leaves us with the question: Is it a skirt if it starts at the shoulder? If it is then we also have the leine.
