Because Javascript is often disabled on office computers and many people
access the web through the computer on their work desk, it wouldn't be
wise to rely on scripting to serve different stylesheets.
Beside that: what is the advantage? The Project7 method as Al suggested
doesn't really offer a big advantage over setting a base stylesheet
(e.g. headers, copy text, lists and links only) with a <link> element,
and serving the advanced stuff through an @import rule.
I've used this technique several times, and it works like a charm.
