It's not just * that does that:

Actually, the core syntax does not deal with that.
body { * ; color:lime }
for instance does not match the core syntax either and is still parsed as
if
body { color:lime }
was specified.
The malformed declaration entry in
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#parsing-errors
takes care of handling that correctly.
