Why is the CSS Validator not treating them as valid CSS? Why does the CSS Validator error out the way that it does? The CSS Validator claims that it will validate CSS level 3, but it doesn't appear to be working properly. This submission page only shows CSS2.1 in the component description, is the CSS Validator actually doing CSS3 validation, as it claims, or not? This error is causing issues with sites that demand W3C validated CSS. 73691 1 jukka.k.korpela 2012-09-12 08:30:01 +0000 These properties are now recognized. But see bug 7388 regarding treatment of word-wrap. 74248 2 ylafon 2012-09-21 19:59:34 +0000 The spec says that one property is an alias for the other, not that one is deprecated, but adding a Warning in that case ("legacy property" or something) would indeed be a plus.
