tabatkins has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:
== [css-syntax] 4.3.11. Consume a name? ==
(migrated from the mailing list)
**Hiep, H.A. said:**
> The specification reads:
>
> ``Repeatedly consume the next input code point from the stream:''
>
> And whenever the code point does not match the two clauses mentioned below,
>
> ``anything else
> Return result.''
>
> I believe that this description wrong. The current code point should be reconsumed, before returning the result, and preventing that a non-matching symbol from the input stream is eaten by the algorithm. A counter-example:
>
> #ident{
> }
>
> would then first consume the "#", which triggers the `Consume a name'-algorithm. It then continues with the `name code point'-path, all the way up to "{". Here it returns result, while "{" is still consumed.
>
> If I may suggest a better wording, it would be:
>
> ``anything else
> Reconsume the current input code point and return result.''
