If a UA cannot parse a style-sheet due to malformed charset, or other 
means available to it, what else is to be expected?, we definately 
cannot say "You must parse that which you cannot parse". 

I fail to see the need for clarification in this, not all UA's can do 
charset-interpret on malformed ones, nor can we expect them to (imo).  
If you could propose an interoperable way to do anything other than 
"ignore" I would personally love to hear the suggestion for an errate 
change.
