Re: parsing greediness, I'm not sure I understand your response. As I said, parsing is *non*-greedy; if the first branch that starts to match eventually fails, you just move on to the second branch and try again. There's no need to order the branches in any particular way to accommodate this, so we order them for readability usually. If you're trying to match CSS grammars against values using a greedy (non-backtracking) parser, you're gonna have a bad time. You have to be able to backtrack. -- GitHub Notification of comment by tabatkins Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2921#issuecomment-902187106 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
