36: <p>
37: In first, angle are always convert in degree, and in this case, it
38: should be not. In second, the validator said 50rad == 50deg, so this
39: is a big bug.

51: The validator doesn't say "only for block-level elements". The bug
52: comes from me. I know where it is but don't have time to find a
1.10 bjoern 53: solution. (<a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=758">Bug #758</a>)

63: XHTML user agents are required to remove comments from XHTML documents
64: before further processing, hence e.g.
65: </p>
66: <pre><style type="text/css"><!--
67: body { volume: 100% }
68: --></style></pre>
69: <p>
70: is to be ignored by those user agents. The CSS Validator
71: should give a strong warning when encountering this and ignore
1.12 ! bjoern 72: the rules inside such comments. (<a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=761">Bug #761</a>)

75: <li>
76: <p>
77: The CSS validator will not acknowledge CSS loaded via a
78: <code><link></code> which does not explicitly declare
79: `type="text/css"', even when the server correctly serves the
1.10 bjoern 80: stylesheet as text/css. (<a href="http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=759">Bug #759</a>)

86: did not generate a warning...

93: I have found something, maybe already known, The HTML
94: validator and the CSS validator can't detect this file is
95: wrong :
96: </p>
97: <p>
98: <a href='http://www.la-grange.net/2002/04/03-styleatt-wo-meta'>http://www.la-grange.net/2002/04/03-styleatt-wo-meta</a>
99: </p>
100: <p>
101: This file has a style attribute <code>style="color: green;
102: border: solid red;"</code> but no metaname specifying the
103: default stylesheet language. So by definition, the file is not
104: a valid one :
105: </p>
106: <p>
107: HTML 4.01 says in the chapter "Style Sheets in HTML documents
108: (14.2.1)":
109: </p>
110: <blockquote cite='http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/present/styles.html#h-14.2.1'>
111: <p>
112: "Documents that include elements that set the style
113: attribute but which don't define a default style sheet
114: language are incorrect."
115: </p>
116: </blockquote>
117: <p>
118: 2002-04-03 The HTML validator says the file is valid.
119: </p>
120: <p>
121: 2002-04-03 The CSS validator does not find any style and says
122: there are no errors.

157: While I was using the very useful CSS validator, I noticed
158: something strange, perhaps a little bug...
159: </p>
160: <p>
161: With the following style definition :
162: </p>
163: <pre>BODY {
164: background-position: center 90%;
165: }</pre>
166: <p>
167: I would say that this definition is wrong because I should not
168: mix "center" and a percentage.
169: </p>
170: <p>
171: But the fact is that no error or warning is reported, and
172: this is the result of the validator :
173: </p>
174: <pre>BODY {
175: background-position : null null;
176: }</pre>

181: </li>
182: <li>
183: <p>
184: According to the element index, "transparent" as well as
185: "inherit" are legitimate colors for border-color. The CSS
186: parser gripes about it however. See <a
187: href='http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2002Mar/att-0024/00-part'>message</a>.

194: Pretty printer removes attribute selector, i.e. '#id[id] {
195: position : fixed }' becomes '#id { position : fixed }' on
196: output. (Reported by Björn Höhrmann)
197: </p>
198: </li>
199: <li>
200: <p>
201: Pretty printer fails to add quote marks for e.g.
202: 'elem[p="100"] { }', i.e. users get an invalid style sheet
203: since all values but ident tokens must be quoted. (Reported by
204: Philip Pawley)
205: </p>
206: </li>
207: <li>
208: <p>
209: Alan J. Flavell argued, that the Validator should also
210: complain 'background-color: transparent' as if
211: background-color has been omitted, see <a
212: href='http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator-css/2001Aug/0072.html'>message</a>
213: </p>
214: </li>
215: <li>
216: <p>
217: The Validator passes the Accept-Language HTTP header to the
218: server where the code to validate comes from. This conflicts
219: sometimes with content negotiation facilities, i.e. you cannot
220: validate pages written in languages you do not accept. I
221: suggest adding '*' at the end of the list of accepted
222: languages. (Reported by Björn Höhrmann)
