erm, just saw my name... was i in this thread?
anyway, the reason *i* use @import it because NN4.x doesn't
recognize it, and therefore doesn't use that CSS...
why would you want to do this?
short answer:
line-height
NN4.x has all sorts of bugs with elements (images in particular)
stuck into blocks of copy with line-height applied... to get around
this, but still have it look good in the browsers that *don't* eat line-
height (or other buggy CSS as implemented by NN4.x), i use the
@import directive so that the newer browsers pull it in, but the
older ones don't...
as an example:
http://alliancefoundation.roswellpark.org/document_660_226.html
using a line-height attribute caused the image to overlap its caption
text...
but moving it to the @import CSS file prevents that in NN4.x... you
can see what i did in view-

so, hope that answers any questions you may have had, although i
think i still missed how my name came up...
