I think some of the things that at least some of today's parsers do today for error handling (e.g., have general rules for how to parse the high level style sheet constructs, and then specific parsers for values of specific properties, designed so that error handling bugs in the specific value parsers can't cause violations of the general rules) is *sort of* like keeping the tokens around. But I'm not sure if it's exactly like keeping the tokens around, and I think this may vary between implementations. This is an area that I'm not super-familiar with because the CSS parser that I knew best (the old Gecko one) didn't do this sort of multi-layer parsing, but instead relied on having the error handling correct in all the specific value parsers. I think you probably need to ask the folks who are closest to today's parsers, but perhaps with a slightly firmer write-up of what it is you'd propose to do. -- GitHub Notification of comment by dbaron Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7961#issuecomment-1292567561 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
