[css2.1] Content of a string containing a backslash followed immediately by EOF

End of style sheet closes a string without error, but if the last
character before the EOF is a backslash, what should the contents of
the string be?  For instance, consider

<!doctype html>
<style>span::before { content: "\</style>
<p>a<span>b</span>c</p>

Should anything appear in between the 'a' and the 'b'?  If so, what?

(Gecko puts a single backslash between the 'a' and the 'b'.  Opera puts
nothing there.  Webkit and IE8 don't seem to support this use
of ::before.)
