    <thetext>The spec now says:

]]
Default style state (http-equiv=&quot;default-style&quot;)
This pragma sets the name of the default alternative style sheet set.

If the meta element has no content attribute, or if that attribute&apos;s value is the empty string, then abort these steps.

Set the preferred style sheet set to the value of the element&apos;s content attribute. [CSSOM]
[[

Please adobt what HTML4 says - namely, that the last META declaration and/or HTTP header takes presdence.
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/styles#h-14.3.2

]]
If two or more META declarations or HTTP headers specify the preferred style sheet, the last one takes precedence. HTTP headers are considered to occur earlier than the document HEAD for this purpose.

If you have additional information and would like the editor to reconsider, please reopen this bug.

For more details, see this document:

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: This is an intended simplification. There is minimal content using this so it doesn&apos;t much matter if we change the way duplicates are handled. (They&apos;re invalid now anyway.)</thetext>
