Description Dimitri Glazkov (Google) 2010-09-26 16:33:53 PDT 
Get rid of the existing bison-based parser, implement our own parser, fix bugs and improve extensibility in the process
Comment 1 Adam Barth 2010-09-26 16:43:42 PDT 
Is there a spec for how a CSS parser should work?  Can we produce a spec at the same time as we produce the implementation?
Comment 2 Simon Fraser (smfr) 2010-09-26 19:48:01 PDT 
One major win here would be better error reporting.
Comment 3 Anne van Kesteren 2010-09-26 23:51:37 PDT 
There is nothing apart from the grammar plus prose combination the current specifications have. Having an HTML5-like specification for this would be really great.
Comment 4 Alexey Proskuryakov 2010-09-27 10:51:14 PDT 
I can already see a bug filed three years later: get rid of messy-crashy-buggy-slow manually maintained CSS parser code, replace it with autogenerated one :)
