See also https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14703#c20 about defining in the HTML spec how that attribute and the encoding of the document participate in determining the encoding of a stylesheet. Test case: data:text/html;charset=latin2,<link%20rel=stylesheet%20href=http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/support/none.css><span%20class=&%23258;&%23733;&%23258;&%23164;&%23258;&%23168>Test (The above misinterprets a stylesheet as ISO-8859-2, with a class name set to the corresponding mojibake. Green means that the HTML document’s encoding is used for CSS.) 98366 1 contributor 2014-01-13 23:13:08 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8391.
