I don't see any good reason to allow at-rules or blocks as property
value or why selectors are optional, thus the grammar is hard to parse
for me. Stricter grammar eases writing a parser for that grammar.

Neither do I. The best approach would be to define the grammar of
at-rules in the relevant modules and collect their syntax in the syntax
module. This would create a dependency for the Syntax module on possibly
all other modules.
