In theory they do the same thing, though the CSS-2 spec calls for quotes to
be present for the syntax to be valid.
In practice, some browsers will ignore the import without the quotes, and
even more ignore the syntax with the quotes. See

Also see <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/cascade.html#at-import> for the
section of the CSS-2 spec.
