This is Issue 277: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-277

The spec defines the term &quot;rule&quot; to be synonymous with &quot;rule set&quot; in 4.1.7 but then procedes to use it as an equivalent of &quot;declaration&quot; in various places.

We should replace all currences of &quot;rule&quot; with the appropriate one of &quot;declaration&quot; and &quot;rule set&quot;.
