[whatwg] Incorrect declaration of the default namespace in user agent CSS

[Sergey Ilinsky]

In the 10.2 The CSS user agent style sheet and presentational hints

The declaration of the default namespace (to be applied to names that have no 
explicit namespace component) is incorrect:
@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

Correct one should look like [1]:
@namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml;;

[1] http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-namespace/#declaration

According to that document both are correct.

As noted in the next section of that draft (3.1 Syntax), the use of the 
url() form is just as valid as the string form:

# namespace
#   : NAMESPACE_SYM S* [namespace_prefix S*]? [STRING|URI] S* ';' S*
