css::Loader::mCompleteSheets is a monotonically growing hashtable (until the loader, which is attached to the document, is unlinked anyways). We should expire this cache somehow.

It would be nice if stylesheets were not cached at all by default.
In both Chrome and Safari you can reload styles by recreating a <link rel="stylesheet" href="..." /> tag and the browser will send a new request to the server.
Firefox just refuses to reload styles if you don't change the URL (by appending a random query for example).
For production applications this is probably not an issue, but it breaks a lot of development workflows and requires Firefox specific workarounds.
