Details

Per the CSS grammar, semicolons (";") are only allowed at the end of an @-rule with no block, or actually inside a block. NGLayout incorrectly allows semicolons to delimit empty rulesets. This is invalid according to the CSS grammar. For example, the following code: A { }; B { } ...is invalid CSS and should be parsed as: Selector: A Block : { } Selector: ; B Block : { } since the second selector is invalid (semicolons have no place in selectors) the resultant stylesheet would be A { } See the quoted uri for a prefabricated test page.
