That sentance leaves too many doors opened so I won't go there, but FWIW, I
don't agree with you ;)

If you do this as a means to serve different rules to different browsers
then you end up using CSS filters inside the style sheets.
Also, IMHO, importing sheets through styles sheets doesn't help
maintainability since rules in the sheet override rules in the imported
styles sheets. It's one more layer to the cascade, redundant rules, etc...
I believe this technique is good to split a sheet into different sections
though (layout, etc.).
