This is the CSS WG's response to an issue you raised on the last CSS
2.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915). We want to
publish CSS 2.1 as a CR in about two weeks. Please let us know this
week if you think our response is wrong.
Your e-mail:

Section 4.4 <
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-CSS21-20030915/syndata.html#q23> What
about stylesheets that have a BOM but no @charset rule? Should the
presence of a BOM imply that the sheet is encoded as, eg UTF-8 or
UTF-16LE (if the appropriate BOM is present), as it does for XML?
CSS WG response:
New bullet point added, which allows a UA to infer the charset
from the BOM, if the other ways to find the charset fail:
4. UA-dependent mechanisms (e.g., guessing based on the BOM)
For the CSS WG,
Bert
