Is there some kind of official documentation or specification that describes what goes into a user agent stylesheet and why?

@matuzo it used to be part of the CSS2 specs when it was all in one doc: https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS22/sample.html

These days (as far as I understand it) it’s split across each spec. For example: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-text-4/#default-stylesheet

@sir_pepe mein Smartphone hat über 1000 Euro gekostet und schafft es nicht die Multipage Version der HTML Spec an der richtigen Stelle zu öffnen. 😁

@matuzo

I don' think so. The concept is introduced in the CSS specs, but closest to some kind of documentation maybe this section about Rendering in the HTML Living Standard:

»User agents are not required to present HTML documents in any particular way. However, this section provides a set of suggestions for rendering HTML documents that, if followed, are likely to lead to a user experience that closely resembles the experience intended by the documents' authors.«
