Hi everyone,

Is it just me or is this part of the CSS2 spec misleading?

   http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visufx.html#value-def-shape 

It states that the top/right/bottom/left should be separated by
spaces, but the examples show that the separator includes a comma.
Furthermore, if I visit

   http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

and paste in

   p { clip: rect(5px 5px 5px 5px) }

I get:

   URI : file://localhost/TextArea
      * Line: 1 Context : p
      Invalid number : clip Invalid separator in shape definition. It must be a comma. : rect(5px 5px 5px 5px)

whereas validating

   p { clip: rect(5px, 5px, 5px, 5px) }

works fine.  

Thanks,

Adam
