Just to be a touch pedantic, CSS2.1 only needs to become a 'candidate
recommendation' before it should be considered 'the' CSS. This is
equivalent to what the W3C used to call a 'recommendation' and means
that browser makers should be looking to implement it as CR is feature
stable. CSS2.1 can't be a 'recommendation' until a full test suite has
been completed, which requires the assistance of browser makers
building implementations.

As such, the validator may well start responding to CSS2.1 syntax
earlier than 'recommendation'. We'll see.
