<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic:  [css-syntax-3] Input stream processing can calculate wrong encoding<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4126<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: If you recall several years ago when first discuss syntax and character encoding in stylesheets vs css 2 we went really simple. Only recognize a couple<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Purposefully match HTML closely. If you have a bite order it's utf8 no matter the char set.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Someone brought up there's a few tests in 2.1 that depend on older 2.1 encoding detection whcih respect charset.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Wondering if intentional.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: as far as I or reporter can tell no one has reported issues on this.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Keeping number of unit charset detection heuristics to a min is good<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I suggest we keep current syntax and close as working as intended<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: Modify tests and keep spec?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Modify or drop the tests. I don't think there in the WPT suite. Something should be done with the tests.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I have no read through original post, do you hink original poster will be satisfied with close no change?<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I think they will be. Mentioned they have no run into anyone trying for it, ran into it by running test suite. It's a little hard to activate. You have to use specific characters at beginning of document that have right bites. Technically possible, but not likely.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I think it's mostly this test suite fails and according to spec something should be different. Did we intend this? And answer is yes we did<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Prop: Close no change, this is an intended difference<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Objections?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Close no change, this is an intended difference<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Would like a needs test on this to validate in test suite<br>
