<style type="text/css">
<!--
@import url("styling.css");
-->
</style>

OR

<style type="text/css" media="screen,projection">
<!--
@import url("styling.css");
-->
</style>

?

Is this good/necessary? also to include in your <head>..</head> page:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Style-Type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Script-Type" content="text/javascript" />

As stated in other threads, it's better to leave out html comments (I haven't seen a version 3 browser in a while and they could get you in a lot of trouble in the not so distant future). Otherwise the two are more or less equivalent. Neither will be read by nn4 since it doesn't recognize @ commands. The second however is more specific -- the rules will only be applied to screen and projection media (no print styling, etc.) The main reason most people include projection is so that opera will apply the rules in full-screen mode. I'm a 'meta' minimalist, but others might see reason for the metas.

As far as those meta tags... Yes, you should include them

In what circumstances do the meta tags help or what spec requires their inclusion?
