[wp-hackers] requesting information about wp_*_style functions

I think that doing both wp_enqueue_style and wp_print_styles 
back-to-back is a bit unnecessary. Here's some code that I ripped from 
wp-includes/general-template.php which shows how determining whether to 
enqueue or print is appropriate:

if ( $force_echo || did_action( 'wp_print_styles' ) ) // we already printed the style queue.  Print this one immediately

    wp_print_styles( $handle );

else // Add to style queue

    wp_enqueue_style( $handle );


Since you are using the function on a wp_head action, you might as well 
just forget about queuing it since the queue won't be used any longer. 
Of course, you could always latch into the "admin_print_styles" or 
"wp_print_styles" actions as appropriate and enqueue your stylesheet 
rather than calling the wp_print_styles function directly.
