Hi Gabriele,
The CSSWG discussed having version identifiers in the style sheet
awhile ago and concluded not to do this. Instead, the validator
should validate against all properties in CR or higher, and if
someone wanted a specific profile (like CSS2.1 only, or Mobile
Profile only) then they could select that profile.
We also suggested that the validator could have a schema format
for listing properties valid in a particular format. That way the
CSS authoring community could come up with various profiles for
"safe" properties based on what browsers X, Y, Z support.
