Whatever the tool does needs to be consistent and explained. From the 
erroneous input:

p {unknown: red; color: green;}

The validator extracts color: green; as valid CSS information, rather 
than dropping the rule set.

In the spec examples:

(a) p { color:green; color }

(b) p { color:green; color: }

(c) p { color:red;   color:; color:green }

It does not drop the entire rule set, but instead reports color: green; 
in all cases and color: red; in (c).
