There’s a year-old bug report on lack of support to calc(), apparently
with no progress:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18913
In general, “CSS3” is a very vague concept, but regarding the CSS
Validator, the implicit idea seems to be that “CSS3” means CSS specs
with status level CR or higher plus whatever the authors of the CSS
Validator regard as valid in WDs.
CSS Values and Units Module Level 3 has been at CR level since 28 August
2012, which might also be seen as indicating that it is really not
making progress. ☺
