Details

The following code renders incorrectly in Mozilla 0.9.3.  The words "bold and 
red" should appear in a bold red font:

  <HEAD>
  <STYLE>
  BODY {font-family: serif};
  .boldred {font-weight: bold; color: red};
  </STYLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
  This should be <SPAN CLASS="boldred">bold and red</SPAN>.
  </BODY>

The existance of the BODY style causes the ".boldred" style to be ignored.  
Even if the body style definition contains no content, such as "BODY {};" 
the "boldred" style is still ignored.  If the BODY style definition is removed 
completely, then the "boldred" style is rendered correctly.
It's the semi-colon after the } that is causing this. Remove it and it works.
IE5 and Nav4.x and Opera5.12 doesn't seem to mind this slight error so maybe we
should fix this. Reassigning to Parser for consideration.

If this is wanted as a feature, it should be a different bug, as a feature
request was not the intent of this bug.  Also it is invalid CSS, as you will see
in the comments at bug 92083.

Sorry, I screwed up.  The semicolon after the block is not valid in either the 
CSS1 or the CSS2 grammer.  It's interesting that the other browsers ignore it, 
though.
