any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.
The number of ways one can link and manipulate stylesheets, and find
good reasons for one way above the others or a mix of several
methods, is only limited by ones imagination and needs in each case.
Example:
- Main-stylesheet with @imported sub-stylesheets, are excellent for
combining well-working CSS-parts, instead of always having to create new
ones. I combine CSS more and more - because I'm lazy, I guess. :-)
- It's also a good method for keeping browser-hacks separate, since one
only have to delete one single line in one stylesheet to get rid of them
for a whole site, once they are no longer needed.
- Combining linking-methods with @media-rules is also an option.
- Working with alternating stylesheets is an option.
- Being able to control the cascade is always important.
It may take a bit longer to become "unconfused", but there are no
"always the best" method for linking stylesheets. Learning how they work
and figuring out how best to use them on different projects, is an
important part of learning efficient CSS.
