DC> Could you clarify: we're not sure what problem you refer to.

I suspect it might be
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q23
in particular point 4 of the bulleted list for figuring out the charset
of a CSS file:

4. charset of referring stylesheet or document (if any)

Clearly if a.html and b.html are in different encodings, both refer to
c.css which does not have a BOM and does not have an @charset, then
there can be a problem.
