The <An+B> grammar (which authors do not need to > know), is so complicated precisely to work around CSS tokenization and > relax whitespace constraints for authors. > > http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-syntax/#the-anb-type > > That said, I’m not opposed to changing it. What specific change do you > think would help? Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3625 using your GitHub account
