Thank you for your feedback. The CSSWG resolved not to make changes to the CSS 2.1 specification[1]. 

We have determine that the spec is not incorrect based on the following logic from this email[2]. Additional changes have been made to the relevant test cases so the cases match the specification.

Please respond before 14 March, 2011 if you do not accept the current resolution.
