As mentioned in my previous messages to the list, I started to implement media query validation based on a faulty assessment of the simplicity of media queries. This was partly due to looking up individual things in normative references instead of reading everything from start to finish. If one looks up the definition of e.g. <length> in the CSS3 Values spec[1], one finds that "The format of a length value (denoted by <length>) is a <number> immediately followed by a unit identifier (e.g., 'px', 'gd'). After the '0' length, the unit identifier is optional." Nothing about calc() or any other functional notation. I learned about calc() in passing on #css. For the benefit of readers who look up individual definitions, it would be helpful to make the value type definition mention the relevant functions that can appear in a given value type.
