I fine with '/0' not being defined in CSS2.1 but Opera should be seeing
'\0' as an unrecognized escaped identifier following (without
whites-space) recognized identifiers ('p', 'div' and '*').
At the moment, Opera drops the '/0' and see these identifiers.
p { background: red } /* Opera 11.01 parses */
div { background: red } /* Opera 11.01 parses */
div * { background: red } /* Opera 11.01 parses */
This leaves it open for authors to abuse such parsing by targeting Opera
with alternative CSS.
