3634 2006-08-26 00:28:07 +0000 Validator incorrectly reports validity for case of illegal escaped whitespace before property value 2008-03-14 13:41:14 +0000 1 1 1 Unclassified CSSValidator CSS 2.0 CSS Validator PC Windows XP RESOLVED FIXED http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2006Aug/0022.html P2 normal --- 1 cecil dave.null www-validator-cvs oldest_to_newest 11291 0 cecil 2006-08-26 00:28:07 +0000 Test case checked using direct input mode, grammar CSS2 selected: Test case : element {color:\ red; } I believe that the above is illegal, if my reading of CSS 2.1 and CSS 2 is correct, yet the validator reports no error. Reasoning: the escaped space should be treated as _part of_ an _identifier_, not as a normal whitespace separator. See the productions for "ident" in CSS2 section D.2; CSS 2 only permits escapes within "ident"/"name", "string" and "url". So the property value should be an identifier " red", which is not a valid value for the color property.
