    <thetext>Given the sad state of the CSS Validator, and the desire for a uniform interface
to these two functions, it would be great to enable the Validator to parse and
Validate CSS.

It might be done by writing a Parser from scratch -- using either Chapter 4 of
CSS21 or the CSS3 Syntax module -- or by creating a SGML Application for CSS.

The CSS syntax is generic and checking it might be compared to XML&apos;s
&quot;well-formedness&quot; checking, with further checking akin to XML&apos;s &quot;Valid&quot; concept.
The generic syntax is also not particularly large or complex, and the number of
selectors, properties, etc. in CSS is far less overwhelming when considered in
the context of a validator/parser then when considering implementing a renderer
or applying the stylesheet to a web page.

With a modular parser backend for the Validator, having CSS be one of the
avilable parsers seems both appropriate and, not the least, actually _doable_.</thetext>

    <thetext>Target 1.0 for review post-0.7. Things are possibly happening over in the CSS
Validator so this may not be relevant by that time.</thetext>

    <thetext>obsolete issue, now that the CSS validator is receiving some decent care, and CSS +markup validation are joined in unicorn project. Let&apos;s keep the markup validator focusing on markup.</thetext>
