I don't understand you. Your reply to comment #3 asks "what is CSS  
specific about
the document?", and your reply here refers only to a syntax module *for
CSS*. Maybe this is a general problem. A previous version was called "css  
selectors" ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-selectors-20010126/ ), and  
your terminology in the document is sometimes inconsistent: mostly you  
talk of selectors, but sometimes about
css selectors (sec. 11), or w3c selectors (sec. 12).
