For calc(), I beleive Simon’s proposal would fix this. Please comment there: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2014Apr/0480.html For <An+B> (In the :nth-*() pseudos), what constraint specifically is this referring to? The <An+B> grammar (which authors do not need to know), is so complicated precisely to work around CSS tokenization and relax whitespace constraints for authors. http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css-syntax/#the-anb-type That said, I’m not opposed to changing it. What specific change do you think would help? -- Simon Sapin
