cdoublev has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-syntax-3] Do not always parse a numeric expressed with scientific notation to a number == I do not believe there are meaningfull cases that warrant a fix for the following, if it is an actual bug. My motivation for creating this issue is also to use it for code documentation. I have searched for existing issues with "scientific notation integer", with no success. I also searched for a [WPT](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/css/CSS2/syntax/scientific-notation-001.xht). `order: 1e0` is parsed as invalid in browsers because `order` should be an `<integer>`. I do not have a high education in maths: perhaps a number representing an integer but expressed with the scientific notation must not be considered as an integer. Otherwise, step 5.3 of [*consume a number*](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-syntax-3/#consume-a-number) could be replaced after step 6 by evaluating if `repr` is a number. I do not know how this evaluation can be translated into spec/WebIDL terms. Or it may simply be decided that it is not worth to be fixed.
