The grammar needs at least at-rule added but I agree that making it stylesheet would be really bad. As an implementer it makes no sense for me to go into at-rule error recovery or at-rule parsing inside of the media block if the grammar doesn't even allow the construct to exist. Of course, this is why this discussion started because IE/Opera read the grammar to disallow at-rule altogether and so go into rule-set error recovery whenever something is seen that isn't understood. Grammar wise adding at-rule will force me to put in code to process at-rule's within the media block. Spec wise saying that at-rules are to be ignored if present (and consequently that at-rule error recovery should be used on a syntax error and not rule-set error recovery) will make the forward compatible stuff work as expected.
