Hi,
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/syndata.html#q23 reads:
[...]
When a style sheet resides in a separate file, user agents must observe the
following priorities when determining a document's character encoding (from
highest priority to lowest):
* An HTTP "charset" parameter in a "Content-Type" field.
* The @charset at-rule.
* Mechanisms of the language of the referencing document
(e.g., in HTML, the "charset" attribute of the LINK element).
[...]
The lower precedence of the @charset rule stays in contradiction to XML and
HTML where the charset is defined _in the document_, why?
