The syntax was correct and it is allowed today in some circumstances. 
Take this example that works in modern browsers (Not IE):

/* href value starts with '/' */
a[href^="/"]:after {
   content: " (http://www.mydomain.com" attr(href) ")";
   }

Would take this element:
  <a href="/foo.htm">Link text</a>

And print:
  Link text (http://www.mydomain.com/foo.htm)
