User's manual states that, by default, the W3C online validator will check for
compliance against CSS2, the current recommendation.  However, it appears that
the validator is actually parsing documents using CSS2.1 rules.

I was getting unexplainable errors when validating my style sheet, which uses
the @font-face at-rule.  After digging deep into the specification and a lot of
head banging, I finally figured out the problem once I realized I could tell
the validator what specification to use.  My style sheet validates against
CSS2, but it looks like the @font-face at-rule has been removed in CSS2.1. 
This is the first time I had ever made use of this rule and ended up wasting a
ton of time chasing ghosts.
