startDocument receives an InputSource and
InputSource.getEncoding()
  Get the character encoding for a byte stream or URI.

I guess a charset callback could be useful but keep in mind that it might not
always represent the real encoding of the CSS file, depending on the
charset parameter on the text/css mimetype (actually, the rfc2318 doesn't say
anything about that. might it should).
