Sorry,
I forgot to add that FOUC doesn't occur if the style tag is followed by
any other valid tag, eg script .../script which is opened and closed
separately.
Though to be honest I cannot remember the last time I incurred the bug.

Using the link tag prevents parallel downloads in the same manner as the
script tag for javascript.
The style tag with the @import method does not.

Why?
Netscape 4 isn't an issue any more so using @import to hide CSS from it
is pointless, but it does trigger a FOUC in MSIE, which is undesirable.
Embedding a stylesheet in a document which does nothing except load an
external stylesheet is conceptually inelegant (and very slightly off
track for the separation of style from content).
