Render CSS?

>Right now, for example, any CSS file in the head of an HTML document must be downloaded and rendered before a page can be displayed.

I don't quite get this. CSS files aren't rendered, instead they affect how the HTML is rendered. I suppose you could load them incrementally, but since each CSS file can override the previous, and there are also default rendering rules, wouldn't the effect be that of the the formatting of the page twitch and shudder strangely, until all CSS has been loaded and interpreted?

(Actually I have already seen that happen if the CSS for some reason loads slower than the page).
