Thanks for the feedback. I personally don't believe that such a designation is necessary. I have now noticed that it is possible to choose the CSS version at the front page. I didn't see this before because I was using the link http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer on my website to get to the validator and this defaulted to CSS 2.1 (this used to work before the update). A classical EBCAK on my behalf - apologies. I have now changed the link to http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/check/referer?profile=css3 and that works as expected. It would be ideal if the validator could display the CSS version it used. Maybe even a list of all the profiles available for re-validation (similar to the HTML validator), so you could try out which CSS version your stylesheets validates against. Thanks again for your time! Daniel
