I wasn't aware of that being implemented at all, though it would make
sense to do it just like <script src="">. However, the only browser I
could find that has implemented it is IE5/Mac, which is obsolete anyway.
IE6/Win, Opera, Firefox, Camino, Safari, iCab and OmniWeb don't
support it.

Are there any XHTML UAs that don't support that? If not, I think that
would be acceptable.

I'm quite sure it does, though I'm not aware of any. But its bugs and
incomplete support for @import seem worse. For example, IE doesn't
support media queries on @import, or even apply @media print{}
stylesheets linked using @import, but does with link. At least with
<link>, I get relatively predictable behaviour.
