Using @import hides stylesheets from older browsers such as
Netscape 4.x, which do not understand the import syntax.
This way you can shield those browsers with flaky CSS 1.0
from your more advanced CSS 2.1 with positioning and such.

Also, if you nominally only LINK one stylesheet in your
HTML, it gives you the flexibility of adding/removing separate
@import-ed stylesheets at a later date without the need for
modifying the actual HTML - in line with the idea of separation
of content and presentation.
