[css3-syntax][css3-page] The mixed declaration/at-rule syntax is not LL(k)

Hi,

Is has been reported that the grammar for the body of @page rules (that 
allows mixed declarations and at-rules) is not LL(k). In other words, it 
requires unbounded look-ahead.

https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Tracker/issues/263

css3-syntax defines the same syntax for all declarations blocks. The 
state machine there is clearly unambiguous and only requires bounded 
look-ahead.

But the only ways I found to translate this state machine into the 
traditional grammar operators (concatenation, alternation, repetition, 
etc.) required unbouded look-ahead to pick between the branches of a 
declaration that ends with ';' or one that ends with '}'.

Should we care about this? Is it a problem for grammar-based parser 
implementations?
