The empty string is a valid resource identifier, if it somehow causes
problems in @namespace, then the css3-namespace specification should
define that the @namespace rule is invalid in the case above. What am

This would have to be changed in the core syntax first and then there,
as @namespace is not allowed in CSS 2.1 to begin with. But we are not
really supposed to change the core syntax at all...
