Hi,

    I was wondering how current the CSS validator is supposed to be, e.g. is it 
    supposed to reflect just the actual specification, or corrections made in 
    the errata?  The specific problem that I'm having right now is that the 
    validator is reporting en error when I use an underscore ("_") in an 
    identifier.  According to the CSS 2 spec, underscore would only be allowed 
    in escaped form, but the errata states that "The underscore should be 
    allowed in identifiers."  I can see that this correction was made 
    relatively recently.  I would very much like to see it incorporated into 
    the validator. 

Thanks,
Jesse McCarthy
