From this thread: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013AprJun/0635.html

Currently it isn't clear what happens if @href-(this-is-inserted-to-avoid-notification-in-migration) is updated on the import
elements. The spec should (probably informally) mentioned that
it loads new import.

This should be addressed in HTML spec

Actually this should be addressed in whatever spec defines the rel="" attribute's value, whichever that is. That's not currently HTML.

See here for how it's done for rel=stylesheet:

It's not necessarily the case that you want to do it the same way.

FYI a Chromium bug was also filed at

As HTML Imports spec is no longer actively maintained, closing this.
