At least in Gecko, you can already detect whether the sheet is done
loading: if you try to get its cssRules and that throws
INVALID_ACCESS_ERR, then it's still loading. (If it throws
DOM_SECURITY_ERR then you're not allowed to read the style data; that's
why you have to check for the exact type of exception thrown. Though
really, if you're loading style sheets cross-site you're in for a world
of hurt unless you control both sites.)
