Proposal
Either remove the CSS warnings completely.
This is certainly not a good idea. Example: "padding-rigth: 0;"
Removing CSS warnings completely would indeed make such typos slip
trough. I am not certain that it would necessarily be a bad thing.

Sorry but we cannot implement this. XXE cannot make a difference
between incorrect CSS properties/property values (e.g.
"padding-rigth:0;") and its own limitations (e.g. "float:right;").
If by "limitations" you mean "rendering limitations", there is at least
one situation where XXE’ CSS validation feature accepts as valid
something that exceeds XXE’s "own limitations": For <table>, XXE only
supports "border-collapse:separate;" but XXE (even the CSS editor) still
accepts "border-collapse:collapse;" as valid.
And at any rate: Do not
prevent users from entering CSS code that XXE does not support.
OK. We'll change the CSS source editor in order to let you click OK
even when some CSS warnings about unsupported properties/property
values are reported.
This will be a great simplification. Thank you. However, I still hope
that CSS validation - as long as it operates - will validate as much
possible. And not, in an somewhat unguessable way, accept something but
not other things.
Another variant, perhaps in combination with the planned new behavior,
could be to let the CSS editor sort/mark CSS properties in two groups:
* One group containing only CSS propertis belonging to the particular
CSS profile that XXE supports;
* And another group containing only CSS properties outside the XXE CSS
profile;
Variant 1:
<table style="
width:400px;
height:400; /* ← Validator would stamp as unvalid */
/*ignored*/ /* ← Flag */
float:right; /* ← Validator would be silent */
clear:both; /* ← Validator would be silent */
">
Example 2:
<table style="
width:400px;
/*ignored:*/ float:right; /* ← Validator would be silent */
/*ignored:*/ clear:left; /* ← Validator would be silent */
">
