Re: nth-child bug in validator

If i set the validator to CSS level 2.1 i am getting the same error.
If its set to CSS level 3 everything is green and fine.

As they are declared in CSS 3:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/#nth-child-pseudo
but not in CSS 2.1: https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/selector.html#first-child
(not a single match for pattern "nth")

I think the behaviour of the validator is correct. Can you point out, why
you think its a bug?

best regards
Andreas
