Validation error using CSS3 substring matching selectors

Dear validator list,


the CSS validator throws an error ("Combinator x between selectors is not
allowed in this profile or version") when I try to validate a style sheet
which includes CSS3 substring matching attribute selectors [1].

The error occurred using a "regular" style sheet (CSS 3 profile selected in
the advanced upload menu -- I didn't check if this might work using the URI
input form), but is of course reproducible using e.g. the snippets

  foo[bar^='baz']:after { content: 'scrible'; }
  foo[bar$='baz']:after { content: 'scrible'; }
  foo[bar*='baz']:after { content: 'scrible'; }

I don't know if this has already been reported or if this is even intended
(since the CSS3 selectors part is no recommendation yet), but I nonetheless
hope it gets fixed anyway ;)


HTH, best regards,
 Jens.
