Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-nesting-1] Fix character reference errors (#12988)

> I'd argue that the enclosing in `''` seems also wrong to me, because Bikeshed then tries to link those terms, but that can be done in a follow up.

Note that the `''foo''` syntax has traditionally been used *both* for linking CSS values *and* for just marking stuff up in a particular style as CSS content. Bikeshed's cool with that. When it's occasionally problematic, the `<css>...</css>` fake element can be used for styling.

So continuing to use it for selectors as it is here is fine.

(This mixing *is* problematic in Bikeshed's parser impl - it needs to simultaneously parse as HTML *and* parse as raw text, and decide which is correct only after resolving links - but oh well.)
