And if I’m using CSS3 profile? It’s been the default in the CSS 
Validator for some time, and it’s what people are using or at least 
moving to.

I understand that fixing this would be a major effort, like a 
redirection table that maps property names to various addresses. But the 
current situation is rather bad, causing increased confusion.

Would it be possible to switch off the link generation when CSS3 profile 
is used? If not, even switching it off completely might be better than 
the current situation.
