I have a style sheet that uses a construct like body.xxx {}. I link in
the stylesheet in the <head></head> section of my html. The validator
seems to think that the "body" it sees in the stylesheet is a body tag
in my html document. It consequently shows a parse tree with a <body>
tag starting at whatever point I link the stylesheet.
For example, If the first line in my <head> section is the link to the
stylesheet, it will parse in a body tag right there and then tell me
that my <meta> tag is out of place. If I move the stylesheet link AFTER
the <meta> tag, that error is no longer reported by the validator, and
so on as I move the stylesheet <link> down through my <head> section.
It always is telling me that </head> is invalid because I am out of the
head section (because when it parsed the stylesheet it seems to have
inserted a <body> tag).
The "body.xxx {}" styles are the first items in my stylesheet. I
haven't experimented to see if that makes a difference or not.
