So : I have simplified Rory's "all.css" down to the shortest
fragment than can generate a diagnostic from the validator :
@font-face
{
font-family:foo;
}
Here is what the validator says :
Property font-family doesn't exist in CSS level 2.1 but exists in : foo foo
Would other CSS-D members agree that
(a) A diagnostic "Property X does not exist in CSS level Y
but exists in : " could reasonably be expected to continue by
citing the dialect(s) of CSS in which Property X /does/ exist ?
(b) The statement "Property X doesn't exist in CSS level Y
but exists in : foo foo" is completely wrong
(it does /not/ "exist" in "foo foo ") and would appear
to be the result of an error in the coding of the validator ?
and
(c) That the repetition in "foo foo", which does not occur
in the source, is also an indication of an apparent error
in the coding of the validator ?
If there is some degree of agreement on this, I will submit feedback
to the W3C Validator team.
