To the CSS Validator team:

What has happened to the new option that you recently added, which allowed us to display vendor extensions as warnings (as opposed to errors)?

I really do hope that you have just taken it down temporarily, rather than permanently removing the option.

In my humble opinion, the possibility of being able to class CSS vendor extensions as warnings is *A Good Thing*: Many – myself included – do not want to use CSS properties that do not validate. As you probably know, some websites, such as government organisations, are actually *bound* use to valid code. Therefore, by removing this option, you are effectively discouraging a large number of designers/developers from pushing the boundaries and using the new features and functionality that CSS3 provides.

Just my two cents, as they say.
