The syntax for @import is pretty unique for CSS, to be fair to IE (we're
always so patronising).
I google searched the w3.org but couldn't find a list of recognised
media types. Does 'all' come into it? Would be better than 'screen',
seeing as IE cannot discriminate in this respect.
I still think the advantage of being able to specify, in one line, one
stlyesheet to be read /exclusively/ by compliant browsers and another to
be read /exclusively/ by IE is priceless. Something that conditional
comments can't do is to tell IE not to read a stylesheet, but let it
through to the rest.
There's something dangerously beautiful about a statement which makes
two convenient kinds of sense.

Barney
