Thank you Boriz. I have updated the two test cases.

This raises issues regarding the rules for handling parsing errors [1].


   Unexpected end of style sheet:

    | User agents must close all open constructs (for example: blocks,
    | parentheses, brackets, rules, strings, and comments) at the end
    | of the style sheet.


   The examples:

   @media screen {
     p:before { content: 'Hello

    would be treated the same as:

   @media screen {
     p:before { content: 'Hello'; }
   }


Are we saying that this CSS,


    [
    p { background: orange }
    p { background: red }


should be treated the same as this.


    [
    p { background: orange }
    p { background: red }
    ]
