"""User agents should determine the default style sheet language for
a document according to the following steps (highest to lowest
priority):
1. If any META declarations specify the "Content-Style-Type", the
last one in the character stream determines the default style sheet
language.
2. Otherwise, if any HTTP headers specify the "Content-Style-Type",
the last one in the character stream determines the default style
sheet language.
3. Otherwise, the default style sheet language is "text/css"."""
HTTP headers and <meta http-equiv> are document-wide in scope, which
means that you can only change the default style sheet language on a
document-wide basis.
this is a valid solution.
It is certainly valid in an SGML sense. And it does conform to the
HTML spec *if* you set the Content-Style-Type header. However, if you
do so, then any use of CSS in style attributes becomes non-conformant.
The ability to use CSS in style attributes being very handy, I don't
think this is a very good solution.
