In fact the grammar-related changes are more important than that, as it
was realigned with the definition in CSS2.1 (plus specific checks for
previous CSS levels), and removed some hacks that were requiring
lookahead in the parser. This is the major part of this release.
There are also many minor optimisations in the most used property classes,
as well a a revamped support for audio style sheets (they were completely
broken, they may just lagging with the spec now).
