Some time ago the CSS Working Group decided to change slash clarify the
specification to require {[()]} matching when parsing selectors. Since
all "open constructs" close when hitting the end of the style sheet this
is parsed as `p [ ... ]` which is invalid and thus ignored. See the
rules in http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#parsing-errors for the
cases "Malformed statements" and "Unexpected end of style sheet".
