Holy Cow! I went to the validator link below, threw in the same URL, expanded the triangle (already was at CSS3) and got no ( 0 ) errors!
what makes this really amazing is that my chair time for coding has fallen WAY off...get maybe couple hours/week...been a year or two since I did it every day, diligently.. I wish I could remember what I did which produced 154 rem-based errors, but they appear to be non-existent.
