But you have requested for "validation" against "CSS3" (which is a 
collection of sketchy drafts that may change at any moment and should not be 
cited except as work in progress). That's what the parameter profile=css3 
means.

The really funny thing is that the newest draft labeled as belonging to the 
"CSS3" family lists the value none as permitted for the property content:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-content/#inserting3

So as far as there can be a bug in a program that checks against something 
in draft status, here you have one.

I wonder whether content: none could be replaced by content: "", but that's 
a different issue. It would matter, though, if your pointy-haired boss or 
teacher requires you to present a "clean validation report". :-)

This, too, depends on the version ("profile") of CSS you "validate" against. 
The default is "CSS 2.1".
