It's a little clearer what you meant now, but it still seems rather odd. I don't think it's true that "The @charset rule has no effect on a stylesheet.", otherwise why would you use it at all, and how would you detect the fallback encoding? I think it's better to say that the @charset rule has no effect on a stylesheet *if* it is preceded by a byte-order mark *or* if the stringent rules about its appearance and position in the file are not followed (which iirc is about what we used to say).
