You know wrong, sorry.  Firefox has the behavior the spec describes; 
webkit blocks the parser completely on stylesheets (the behavior Firefox 
used to have).  Last I checked, at least.

The parts of that condition basically mean:

1)  When the element was created by the parser, it was in the 
then-enabled stylesheet set (i.e. not an alternate stylesheet).
2)  The stylesheet, or one of its @import descendants, is still loading.
3)  The stylesheet linking element is still in the document (so the 
stylesheet still applies).
