strange validation results

[rhsunderground]

when i validated my css this morning, i got the following warnings:


Line : 3 (Level : 1) You have no color with your background-color : body
Line : 11 (Level : 1) You have no color with your background-color : #content
Line : 26 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : a:link
Line : 30 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : a:visited
Line : 34 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : a:active
Line : 55 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : #nav a
Line : 63 (Level : 1) You have no background-color with your color : #nav li li a
Line : 77 (Level : 1) You have no color with your background-color : li

why?

Ya know, I got that same message a while ago...
The W3C now wants us to put colors and background-colors on those things.
Links now have to have backgrounds, and divs need backgrounds and colors, whether they are needed or not.
One other thing, I noticed that the CSS validator will only give the "Congrats, you've got valid CSS" message if the stylesheet is validated from the webserver. Maybe they fixed that, I don't know.

The css validator now looks at accessability, hence, the warnings but they are not errors. There is a link there that discusses this.
