It is actually my CSS editor = Topstyle, which does a great job of 
working with CSS and displaying changes as you type them.  But I just 
discovered this quirk that it isn't showing the tiling of a background 
image in the preview pane when the style sheet is linked.  It does 
display it when it is connected using @import. 

Thus my question about the downside of using @import vs link.   I have 
no personal preference so am thinking I should just use the @import for 
my stylesheets (especially any using background images).  But I wondered 
if there was some can of worms out there that I was opening up by doing 
that.

I am aware of the NS4.7 issues.  And I just recently saw a post that 
third (or fourth?) style sheet brought in with @import isn't being 
rendered in IE6 (or 7?)

Are there other issues or reasons not to use @import?
