Who says it useless?
 I use it all the time.

The <?import> tag was one made by Microsoft, for IE. No other browser that I 
know of supports it. Not only that, but if you run it through a parser, it 
causes an error. Use the xmlns:smil="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:time" or 
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml".
