Whatever the tool does needs to be consistent and explained. From the
erroneous input:
p {unknown: red; color: green;}
The validator extracts color: green; as valid CSS information, rather
than dropping the rule set.
In the spec examples:
(a) p { color:green; color }
(b) p { color:green; color: }
(c) p { color:red; color:; color:green }
It does not drop the entire rule set, but instead reports color: green;
in all cases and color: red; in (c).
