For those following at home:
Following a discussion on the WW-style mailing list, the above is not correct.
Based on latest revisions of the CSS 2.1 spec,

<http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Mar/0579.html>
This means that given
p [background: blue} /* mismatched opening '[' */
.test1 { /*property:value*/ }
.test2 { /*property:value*/ }
the whole of the stylesheet that follows the mismatched opening '[' will be
thrown out. That is the behaviour of IE 8 & 9 and will be the behaviour of a
future version of Firefox.
(and the CSS validator will need to be updated to match the spec revision…)
