I think this is a very minor issue, and it has a simple workaround -
mark it as undefined. However, if Lachlan doesn't feel like paying extra
fee for versionning (what Anne calls "make work") or he thinks having
"undefined"s in a spec significantly lowers the quality, I think that's
fair enough and I suggest the way to move forward (if we really want to)
is to consider my comment as retracted (let's just do so if Lachlan
doesn't reply to this).

To address this issue without marking "undefined"s, the way is:

0. Make sure this issue is addressed in css3-syntax (CCed Tab Atkins
since he is the editor).
1. Link to css3-syntax.
2. Write tests for this issue.

but I am not sure if the process will block us at 1. It sure would block
us at 2. if implementations haven't changed last since last time I
tested with this.


Cheers,
Kenny
