Per chapter 4 [1], @charset must be written literally, i.e., the 10 characters '@charset "' (lowercase, no backslash escapes), followed by the encoding name, followed by '";'. The grammar, however, allows for @charset<space><singlequote>, as pointed out on this mailing list last year [2]. Issue 3 [3] accepted the change. Issue 4 [4] implies the rule may be stricter than the grammar. The change appendix [5] says : "Added requirement that @charset rule must be a literal '@charset"...";', not a CSS-syntax equivalent." Given this and the very specific byte matching table in section 4.4, can we assume the double quote is the only legal charset encoding delimiter ? S.
