[theme-reviewers] Importing CSS within style.css

[Michael Fields]

There is one thing that comes to mind. Lets say the following code is used in style.css:

@import url(http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald);

This is OK so long as is_ssl() does not return true. In case that it does Chrome will generate a "Insecure Content Loaded" type error message in the console.

One solution is a protocol-relative url like:

@import url(://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Oswald);

I do not believe that there is support for this in IE6 and IE7/8 will download the file twice.
See: http://paulirish.com/2010/the-protocol-relative-url/

IMHO, the best method is to enqueue.
