No. Different browsers handle errors differently, so if you present an
error, well ... all bets are off.

OK then how do you explain different behaviours for

div.classname { }

and

div.classname { display:block; }

In what context and what browser? Please provide a URL.

In the simple, general case you don't get different behaviours for
these. <divalready has display:block; as a default.

If you're seeing different behaviours, then we can only assume that you
have something weird going on ( Another rule of div { display:inline;
} would do it). So post a URL to your example, then we can all see
what's going on.

Quick, tell me how many fingers I'm holding up.

WHAT behaviors? WHAT does your code look like? WHAT browser?

Perhaps, but by CSS specifications, browsers are required to follow certain
rules in error processing. In particular,
div.classname { display:; }
shall be ignored as malformed.
