Convincing but from my point of view just an excuse for a mistake.

When you define specs and syntax, that's it. A valid CSS file should
be valid whatever the context. If not, what means "definition".

It's just like if someday I create a something that become a world
standard that use CSS but fordib usage of ";" in CSS. And so, ask to
add a close in CSS specs saying that "maybe, in some case, your
completely fully standard compliant CSS is not and you have to care
about the context". 

I'll make the modifications as soon as possible. Anyway, that's another
w3c crap.
