Internet Explorer 7 & 8 will download stylesheets twice if the http(s) protocol 
is missing.

For example: <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" 
href="//www.google.com/phone/static/2496921881-SiteCss.css">

We should investigate this. Perhaps stripping the protocol could be making 
sites slower on some IE browsers.
