Please give a real example where non-ASCII characters are needed in *style sheets*. For an occasional character, you can still use the "backslash escape" references. Otherwise, feel free to use UTF-8. However, I have seen many web pages and style sheets with only ASCII characters that some dumb editor saved in UTF-16 without need. I'm sure the authors don't even know! > I guess I fail to see how utf-8 or > ISO8859-1 is in any way inappropriate. Both UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 are fine as long as you define such encodings (charset) in the HTTP header. http://www.w3.org/International/O-HTTP-charset http://ppewww.physics.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/charset/checklist.html > Of course, neither of those requires BOMs... Exactly.
