Description fd 2009-07-31 11:14:14 UTC 
CSSUtils.getStylesheet encodes the CSS string to validate into a ByteArrayInputStream sent to the CSS validator.

The problem is that getBytes() is platform-dependent, and although a vast majority of platforms are likely to use UTF-8 as their default encoding, some may not and may have e.g. ISO-8859-1.

Charset to use to encode the string should be explicitly given.
Comment 1 fd 2009-08-03 15:35:43 UTC 
An explicit UTF-8 encoder is now used.
The latest version of the CSS validator allows one to precise the encoding of the string, thus set to "UTF-8".
