Guess I shouldn't say this, but, FWIW:
It is good to have options and know how they work an/or how to make them
work. However, I don't see much point in switching hacking-strategy if
one has a working and well-tested method in place.
As for any hack that relies on a parsing bug, the '@import hack' can be
expected to break in a future IE/win version. I personally like that old
hacks break, as it suits _my_ strategy just fine. However, one should be
aware of this fact - especially if one is new to this "a bit darker"
side of web design, or else the whole exercise can end up being
*extremely* painful.
There's no such thing as a 'safe bug/hack', only some that are a bit
safer than others.
