CSS1

[Albert Wiersch]

Does anyone need the CSS1 information provided in some of the CSS checker messages? I am thinking this is just too old and should be removed in CSE HTML Validator v9.0 because it's not worth including anymore.

Example:
Removing "CSS1: [<font-style> || <font-variant> || <font-weight>]? <font-size> [/'line-height']? <font-family>." from the following message:

The value for the "font" property is invalid. CSS2 allows this value to be: [['font-style' || 'font-variant' || 'font-weight']? 'font-size' [/'line-height']? 'font-family'] | caption | icon | menu | message-box | small-caption | status-bar | inherit. CSS1: [<font-style> || <font-variant> || <font-weight>]? <font-size> [/'line-height']? <font-family>.

If you still care about CSS1 format, then please let me know! Another possibility would be to make the CSS1 info optional.

I dislike my answer to this. It's "I'm not sure".

I'm aware of the patchy nature of CSS implementation.

See http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html

To get some sort of insight.

Unfortunately, like the description above, I haven't broken it all down into CSS1, CSS2 and (more unrealistically) CSS3.

I'm fairly sure that making CSS1 optional and maybe off by default would be a good solution. (Without specific information, I'm pretty sure that there are developers out there who are targeting unusual browser populations. Some of them could need CSS1!)

I think I will remove some CSS1 info by commenting it out in the code. If it seems enough people want it back, then I may add it back in but make it an option that is defaults to off.

If anyone here is still concerned about CSS1, then please let me know!
