"illegal values, *_or values with illegal parts_*, are treated as if the
declaration weren't there at all" 
CSS 1, section 7.1 Forward-compatible parsing
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS1#forward-compatible-parsing

"Illegal values. User agents must ignore a declaration with an illegal value."
CSS 2.1, section 4.2 Rules for handling parsing errors
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#parsing-errors

"Unsupported ValuesIf a UA does not support a particular value, it should ignore
that value when parsing stylesheets, as if that value was an illegal value."
CSS3, section 5. Rules for handling parsing errors or unsupported features 
http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-css3-syntax-20030813/#error-handling

Actual results:
The CSS validator truncates the illegal part and does not report any parsing error.

Expected results:
The CSS validator should report the error and notify accordingly that only
integer value in the 0 - 255 range are valid.

Note: Safari 1.2+ and Mozilla-based browsers will parse a real value as an error
and will apply error condition to the declaration.
