Philip, There was no agreement that the warning was in any way correct in CSS 2.1; the behaviour of the validator simply defies the specification. My observations regarding behaviour of browsers was simply a response to previous bleather by other correspondents - please review the thread. Personally all I care about is the correct behaviour of the validator - and your sharp toned response to my request is unhelpful, in my view. It should be possible, in my opinion, to toggle off an informational message, if any are generated. Regards.
