When I inquired about adding an automatic validation check for this,
Peter Linss replied that there's actually no problem with using draft

[22:09] <cvrebert> plinss: Gerard's feedback in
https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-css-testsuite/2015Aug/0003.html

[22:10] <cvrebert> plinss: (1) https://drafts.csswg.org shouldn't be

[22:11] <plinss> actually, that’s not an issue, draft links are fine
