Description CecilWard 2006-04-09 11:38:06 UTC 
The validator seems quite happy with garbage pseudo-element/pseudo-class names.

Test cases:

*:hovverr {}
*:firrrst-line:hover {}
*:first-child\:first-line {}

Am I missing something?

[ Tested using "direct input > advanced > CSS 2 grammar" ]

Cecil Ward.
