Default CSS Validator error?

Hello fellow stylers,

I don't understand the error report given by the W3C CSS validator:

"Line: -1

unrecognized media screen, tv "

I checked carefully and can't figure this one out. I created a reduced
demo page. It seems that I can not mention more than 1 media as media
attribute values.

I'd appreciate explanations on this. Otherwise, I'll report this as a
bug to W3C.

You mean you don't know where your line -1 is? :-)

Apparently "CSS Validator" simply does not deal with a comma between
media names, so it takes the stuff as a single name, then tells it
doesn't know it.

This bug was reported already in November 2002:

Don't bother. The "CSS Validator" is apparently abandonware. The
announced forum for bug reports is the www-validator-css@w3.org
mailing list, see http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/Email.html
But it seems to be just a forum for reporting bugs, without affecting
anything. See
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/...3Jun/0011.html
which says: "We don't have an official maintainer for the CSS Validator
anymore unfortunately."

This is sad and very disappointing.

Thank you for your research, for the links and thank you for your time.
This was greatly appreciated.
