I've asked the HTML Working Group for clarification whether this is
actually allowed
http://www.w3.org/mid/40ccdc4d.97400945@smtp.bjoern.hoehrmann.de
but they have so far refused to comment, so it is not clear to me what
the correct behavior would be which means this is unlikely going to get
fixed any time soon. Clearly, this is not supposed to be marked up that
way, you are rather expected to use
<link rel = "stylesheet"
href = "stylesheet.css"
type = "text/css"
charset = "utf-8" />
The CSS Validator should be able to find the style sheet then.
