FYI I raised the issue we had in our implementation to the WHATWG some time ago - http://lists.whatwg.org/pipermail/whatwg-whatwg.org/2011-October/033392.html

Here is the interesting part of how Firefox implements the spec (from the last email in the thread):

"So for what it's worth, Gecko implemented the current behavior of creating the stylesheet immediately as soon as we know the <link> is linking to a stylesheet in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107567

One of the considerations there was in fact allowing pages to change disabled state without having to wait for the sheet to load.  That includes things like selection of alternate stylesheet sets working correctly even if not all the alternate sheets have finished loading and so forth..."

Following FF here should ensure that we don't see the regressions we have seen in bug 65140 (basically exactly what is mentioned at the beginning of the 2nd pasted paragraph). This should also make us pass most of the test cases.
