It seems that SVG's extension of the CSS2 grammar is less restrictive than
the CSS2 grammar, since it has introduced a '@color-profile' symbol.
The current CSS2 grammar does not allow for extensions of at-rule symbols.
 Currently, the at-rule symbols are restricted to:
@import, @page, @media, @font-face, @charset.  This seems like a fairly
significant problem, since conforming CSS2 parsers should not recognize
this rule type and none of the various interfaces that depend on it
[SVGColorProfileRule, SVGCSSRule, etc ] can be implemented properly.
