However, what about making a change for CSS3?
I don't see where it would harm the tokenization if for example
FUNCTION were changed from "ident '('" to "ident w '('".
as in standard CSS, the left parenthesis is only used
following a function identifier.
Would doing so cause a problem with forward compatible
parsing in strict CSS1 or CSS2 implementations beyond
the obvious one that rules that contained such text would
be ignored by them?
On the other hand I don't see where there would be any
real benefit either, so don't call me an enthusiastic
supporter of this either.
