I have never seen any evidence of checking during
the style sheet parsing process.

Hey Trolltech, You need to perform syntactic and semantic
checking during the processing of style sheets.

My C++ compiler complains when I leave out a semi-colon
and so should you.

My C++ compiler complains when I misspell a keyword
and so should you.

This is basic stuff and you should be ashamed of yourself.
Missing an opportunity to point out an obvious
user error is a software engineering crime.
