This fixes the specified tests, let me know if tests need to be added or whether the harness is enough.

These tests are strange. Somehow, a syntax requirement of @import being the first rule (besides @charset) can be waived by semantical correctness of preceding rules - I wouldn't expect it to work that way.

r=me, but please don't land without confirming that IE and Firefox agree.

Valid or not, @charset is allowed before @import. Could you add an explanation of what the problem with that was?

Hi Alexey,

Sorry to react so late, very busy with other things lately.

Indeed at-import-009.htm works in FF but fails in IE. at-import-010.htm works as expected
in both (text shows up green). If at-import-009.htm as a test is questionable, should I redo the
patch to only fix at-import-010.htm?
Cheers,

Rob.

Sounds good. I'd suggest contacting test suite maintainer about these tests - perhaps this has all been considered already.

Discussion of the test suite happens on [e-mail].

Fix html4/at-import-010 test

Somehow, I expected this test to be more controversial, because ":unknownpseudo { background: red; }" seems "more valid" than "@page". Weird.

This test doesn't contain any page rules, but you modify CSSParser::createPageRule().

r=me assuming skipping invalid @page rules matches both IE and Firefox. It's unfortunate to land this without a test.

I decided to skip the @page bits as it was not needed for fixing html4/at-import-010. That part of the patch is now in webkit repository.

I noticed later that at-import-009.htm does actually work in IE! I can only guess that I forgot to create the 
support/import-green.css on my windows XP intially, but again after a later retry it worked. So should I create a new patch for at-import-009.htm fixing or should I first ask about its validity on [e-mail]?
Cheers,

Rob.

Well, if these tests pass in both IE and Firefox, then we should just proceed.

Sorry for my tardiness here, for one thing I was travelling lately. The other, more serious thing, is that
last week before landing I decided to recheck and actually found FF4 on OS X failing the test! So maybe we have to wait landing this and clear up validness of the testcase on the css tests mailing list?
Cheers,

Rob.

Clearing review flag while we wait to hear if the test is valid or not.

Safari 15.5 matches other browsers

I am unable to reproduce this bug in Safari 15.5 on macOS 12.4 based on the following test case:

Test - http://test.csswg.org/suites/css21_dev/20110323/html4/at-import-010.htm

From Comment 05, it seems that 009 was questionable and the later bug was focused on fixing alt-import-010 but didn't move due to test being valid as per Comment 14.

Since now all browsers as shown in the picture are working as expected and showing "Green" text, I think this can be marked as "RESOLVED INVALID" or "RESOLVED CONFIGURATION CHANGED". Depending on, whether it was web-spec change, which aligned behavior or something along the line got it fixed. Thanks!
