Actually, to be pedantic, Content-Style-Type is needed to interpret  
the style *attribute*. The <style> element has a type attribute that  
tells you how to interpret it.

Content-Style-Type is also IIRC defined to default to "text/css", so  
it's only needed by pages that use another stylesheet language. As  
few browsers support non-CSS styling languages, it is mostly redundant.
