[css-syntax] string to number feedback

Hi there,

I have been implementing a parser for the CSS spec at
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-syntax/ and I have noticed 2 problems. I'm not
sure if this is the correct place to report issues – if not, please let me
know where I should send my comments.


> 4.3.12 Consume a number
>
> 5. If the next 2 input characters are U+0045 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER E (E)
or U+0065 LATIN SMALL LETTER E (e) followed by a digit, then:


This section omits the possibility of having a + or - minus before the
exponent when tokenising...

> 4.3.13 Convert a string to a number
>
> 6. An exponent sign: a single U+002B PLUS SIGN (+) or U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS
(-), or the empty string. Let t be the number -1 if the sign is U+002D
HYPHEN-MINUS (-); otherwise, let t be the number 1.

But then point 6 above allows for a sign character when converting the
string to a number.

> 4.3.13 Convert a string to a number
>
> 7.  An exponent: zero or more digits. If there is at least one digit, let
i be the number formed by interpreting the digits as a base-10 integer;
otherwise, let i be the number 0.
> Return the number s·(i + f·10-d)·10te.

In point 7 above I think it should read "let e be the number" in both
cases, rather than 'i'.

Thanks,

Marc

I have a unit test test that exposes the issue here:
