Test case checked using direct input mode, grammar CSS2 selected. -- Reasoning: the escaped newline is only legal inside a string, if my reading is correct. See the productions for "string1"/"string2" in CSS2 section D.2. (An aside; FYI: note that the example element {color : red; }\ a {} is rejected, which is as it should be.)
