I'm not convinced that the I18N people have understood that CSS is not 
like normal programming languages in that what would normally be 
considered parse errors are treated as actually being new features that 
the user agent doesn't yet know about, and which should be ignored (in 
the same way as recognized, but unsupported features).

that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
