It's true that more than 30 style tags on a production application is a big problem; however, in development mode it can be useful for debugging and maintainability to break out your stylesheets into granular modules that get concatenated at deploy time.

I've personally bumped into this limit in IE in development mode. My solution was to build a dynamic method that concatenated all the stylesheets on the fly if the IE user agent was detected.
