I think he wants the gain in page loading speed that you get when you can start parsing before the styles are all loaded.

I think I'm more with Rone; I prefer the FOUC to just stalling the page. But in my own experience, if your users and your boss say it's a problem, then it's a problem whether you think it is or not.
