Julien has been implementing some of these changes into the code, and there is now a "no special profile" option in the validator, which will check stylesheets' properties against all the CSS profiles it knowns. The new code can be tested on the developer's version at: http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/ (note that only the english version may work at this point) and early feedback would be much welcome. Thank you. -- olivier
