Description Radu Coravu 2008-05-27 14:02:49 UTC 
As far as I can see in the specification CSS files can contain all possible Unicode characters if the "@charset" declaration in them allows that.

There seem to be 2 problems in the CssParser.jj file.
First, in the options{} block you should set the "UNICODE_INPUT = true;" property so that the parser can handle unicode chars if the reader was correctly built.
Then, the NONASCII token should probably be declared as:  ~["\000"-"\177"]
This means anything but ASCII.

I will try to attach 2 test files. The XML is correctly displayed in Firefox but the validator complains about the CSS file

Should be fixed by recent updates on the @charset support.
