There is no way to specify which version of CSS your stylesheet is  
following.

I have seen a lot of discussion on the matter, and suggestions of  
constructs such as "@version 3;" but for now, the general opinion of  
the group building the CSS specifications is that it is not desireable.

If you feel this is a bad thing hindering your adoption of CSS3, you  
could make your opinion known to the CSS working group by using the  
public www-style@w3.org mailing-list, where discussions on style  
sheet languages take place.
