No, you are not required to address it, currently the specification is not either, but I as an implementer need to address it and I want the specification to tell me and my competitors what to do in order to ease and back my implementation. This is not about non-characters, this is about digital representations of stylesheets that can't be properly decoded because the representation is not encoded in the determined encoding or because the determined encoding is not supported. These are error conditions and I want to know how to handle them.
