Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade-7] What happens with duplicate @sheet identifiers? (#12001)

I think this depends on if `@sheet` is more like a condition (e.g. `@media`, `@layer`, ...), or more like a name-defining at-rule (e.g. `@keyframes`, `@font-face`, ...).

I think the utility of the append or merge behavior is fairly limited and might be surprising to CSS authors when the sheets contain `@import` statements.

```css
@sheet sheet1 {
  @import "foo.css";

  * { font-family: serif; }
}

@sheet sheet1 {
  @import "bar.css"; /* won't work, it appears after a style rule when merged */

  * { font-family: sans-serif; }
}
```

While "last one wins" can also be used by CSS authors to override definitions of sheets.

```css
@sheet sheet1 {
  * { font-family: sans-serif; }
}

@media print {
  @sheet sheet1 {
    * { font-family: serif; }
  }
}
```
