That would be wrong, in my humble opinion. It does make a non-normative
note that another CSS 3 module is most likely going to include a
superset of the property.
That CSS 3 module (css3-content) would be the most appropriate place to
mention that 'content' applies to elements as well and that it is true
for all its values as well. (I wonder if the latter is needed, but who
knows.)
If not, css3-content should be a normative reference, not an informative.
