Hi Paul,

Who uses an encoding declaration at the head of their external CSS style
sheets?
if my stylesheet just uses the basic Latin range, I usually don't bother
with an encoding declaration.
If the values of my "id" and "class" attributes fall outside that range
or if I have unescaped text being inserted into the document via CSS
then I'd add an encoding declaration.
And how do you get around the UTF-8 signature or byte order mark (BOM) that
some editors add to the document?
Some info on BOM at
http://www.w3.org/International/questions/qa-utf8-bom for those interested.
Some editors will give you the option of saving with or without BOM. For
this type of stuff I use emeditor.
There are various tools out there for striping the BOM, eg
