Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-syntax] Correctly handle "escaped EOF" (#3182)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `Correctly handle "escaped EOF"`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Change syntax to specify behavior impl in majority of browsers`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic: Correctly handle "escaped EOF"<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3182#issuecomment-455376948<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: The spec for syntax- this is a weird corner issue and I'm going to match impl. Turns out the way impl handle an escaped end of file is to omit a replacement character<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Resolved this at one point, but resolutions are confusing. Spec doesn't say that right now. A slash at the end of the file doesn't create an escape as per spec. FF, Chrome, and Safari think it counts as an escape for replaced character. Want to edt spec to match impl.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Edge does extremely wrong things for the slash so I don't think we can draw from that.<br>

&lt;dael> TabAtkins: This is what they do ^<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I can't tell what they're doing internally, the serialized isn't round trip-able<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: Only difference in other browsers is FF serializes it as an escape for itself which is same result as omitting. It's a CSSOM serialization issue. syntax-relevent has all browsers behaving the same<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Concerns?<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen: I haven't had a chance to look. Reading through TabAtkins 's comments. I won't push back, but I'm curious what we're doing. I'll comment if I want to re-open.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: You're fine resolution now?<br>
&lt;dael> Rossen: Yep. Just like any other issue<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Objections to changing syntax to spec behavior impl in majority of browsers?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Change syntax to specify behavior impl in majority of browsers<br>
