That should parse as something like (froom memory):
Selector: p
Block:
Declaration:
Property: 'color'
Value: 'green'
Ignored Declaration:
Comment: ' missing "}" '
Property: 'q'
Block:
Identifier: 'color'
Token: ':'
Identifier: 'blue'
Identifier: 'samp'
Block:
Identifier: 'color'
Token: ':'
Identifier: 'red'
Error: Unexpected EOF (Expected '}')
...and therefore is equivalent to the following stylesheet:
p { color: green }
The bit from the comment to the end is definitely ignored as being an
unrecognised syntax for a declaration. The spec is extremely clear about
this, I think.
The bit I'm not clear about is whether 'q' gets treated as an identifier
or a property. I think I may be mixing two parts of the parsing process,
and that it would start of as an identifier and then be considered as a
property only if the syntax for that declaration was correct? I'm not
sure. David can probably tell us...
