Description Jukka K. Korpela 2014-04-23 05:10:19 UTC 
Example:

h1 { font: 200% }

This incorrectly passes validation, even though font family value is missing.

A font short hand without font size, e.g.

font: Calibri

also passes validation. It should not, by the specifications (even though it would be convenient to be able to write that way).

Even

font: italic

passes and is reported as follows:

Valid CSS information
a {
font : null;
}
