+                // when setting new href to the link tag, Firefox forgets the old stylesheet immediatelly and waits for new stylesheet to be downloaded
+                // when page reflows during that time (and redisplays), xrefresh user sees unstyled page for a while
+                // (usualy for fraction of the second until new stylesheet loads and forces new reflow)
+                // 
+
+                // the new shiny idea:
+                // insert the new stylesheet immediatelly after the original one in the DOM, so it should override old rules
+                // then remove old stylesheet after some delay (2 seconds should be enough)
+                //
