More precisely, it conforms to CSS 2.1's description of the core grammar.
It does not conform to the grammar of valid CSS 2.1 that's described
(non-normatively) at http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/grammar.html .

A quick search doesn't turn up any normative text saying that property values
can't contain blocks, but OTOH there's no CSS 2.1 property called "some-prop",
and none of the properties that CSS 2.1 does define allow blocks in their
values.
