Validation of W3C Core Style Sheets

 HI ---

 I happened to run one of the W3C Core Style Sheets through
 the validator:

  href="http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/Oldstyle" 

 It produced two errors and many warnings!  Are the Core
 Style Sheets actually valid css?  A transcript is attached.

 I am calling this from a page that validates as HTML 4.01,
 but I get the same errors when I run a W3C sample page
 through the validator:

http://www.w3.org/StyleSheets/Core/stylebot.html?family=1&doc=Specification

 Thanks for your help,

        John Lienhard
