Getting this fixed for the next release would be really nice, trying for
mozilla0.9. By fixing this I mean that we should add a method that lets script
writers load external scripts and have them executed, using the DOM to do this
aint cool IMO so we should come up with a clearer solution for this problem.

The dom spec explicitly says that a user should be able to load a stylesheet by 
adding a xml-stylesheet pi

Stylesheet loading is coverd by bug 7515.

Good question, and I know Vidur is working on bug 18843, and he's close to
having something working soon... Duping.
