You currently display the document without any stylesheets, then load all
stylesheets, whether used or not, and then reflow when they are all loaded. It
would probably be better to load the ones that are to be used first, and then
(if you want) pre-load the alternates. It's very slow to load 3 stylesheets
when you only need one.
Additionally, if you start loading another link while the stylesheets are
loading, the stylesheet loading should be stopped. It isn't.
(I do like the idea of displaying first without the stylesheet. And yes, I am
currently testing over a modem.)

Actually, I think you shouldn't load alternate stylesheets until they are
requested, for the following reasons:
1) It uses bandwidth
2) It messes up hit-counting, which drives webmasters crazy
3) It slows down anything else the user may be doing (telnet, etc.)
4) Because of (3), it discourages the use of alternate stylesheets.

We now defer loading alternate sheets until all other sheets have loaded.

Verified fixed using 6/14 Apprunner. Stylesheets loading is immediate.
