RE: [CSS21] last edition: pity

Feedback on spec changes is always very welcome, but calling them 'trash', 'nonsense' and such is neither strictly necessary nor a productive way to engage the editors and the larger group. Thanks.

First, I suggest reading on the background of this change: http://wiki.csswg.org/spec/css2.1#issue-24

Second, as Giovanni points out, a declaration is not a statement. 

Maybe an example would help explain how you're reading the rule i.e. if there is a contradiction, something that used to be invalid may now be valid or ambiguous ?
