[CSSWG][css-syntax] CSS Syntax Level 3 Candidate Recommendation

The CSS WG has published a Candidate Recommendation of the CSS Syntax 
Module Level 3:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/css-syntax-3/

This module describes, in general terms, the basic structure and syntax 
of CSS stylesheets. It defines, in detail, the syntax and parsing of CSS 
- how to turn a stream of bytes into a meaningful stylesheet.

This is a complete rewrite of the obsolete 2003 draft. It describes CSS
tokenization and parsing in imperative recursive decent style, and
exhaustively covers error handling. Additionally, the An+B syntax used
in :nth-child() and related Selectors is not described in terms of the
same tokenizer as the rest of CSS.

Significant changes are listed at:

     http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/CR-css-syntax-3-20140220/#changes

Please send any comments to this mailing list, <www-style@w3.org>, and
please, prefix the subject line with

     [css-syntax]

(as I did on this message).

For the CSS WG,
