Description Morrita Hajime 2013-05-15 02:48:51 UTC 
From this thread: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013AprJun/0635.html

Currently it isn't clear what happens if @href is updated on the import <link>
elements. The spec should (probably informally) mentioned that 
it loads new import.
Comment 1 Dimitri Glazkov 2013-07-18 21:18:37 UTC 
This should be addressed in HTML spec
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2013-10-23 22:07:44 UTC 
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.
