This was just a suggestion, which is why I wrote: Something like (as the first entry in an external CSS file... ^^^^^^^^ ^^^ >And CSS has no version numbers, only levels.

But the only information a lint would expect from the CSS author is which level of CSS to check against, surely? >Whatever, you'll do, this is too late for existin CSS level 1 browsers. The suggestion has nothing to do with browsers (which is why it was enclosed in a CSS comment); it is only meant to provide information to a CSS lint about the level of CSS which the author wishes to check. In much the same way that UA 'suggestions' are found in both CSS recommendations, I was hopeful that a similar suggestion could be made to benefit authors who wish to lint/check (okay, 'validate' if you must) their CSS. There is ample confusion extant in the CSS authoring community *without* obfuscating error messages. We should not become inured to rendering via UA error recovery.
