>From section 14.2.1 of the HTML 4.01 Recommendation:

"""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".
