Description James An 2009-08-20 16:56:09 UTC 
Description:
The zoom and word-wrap properties of CSS3 are not recognized by the validator. This affects both the main validator and the dev version at http://qa-dev.w3.org:8001/css-validator/.

Steps to reproduce:
Enter by direct input the following CSS:
a { zoom: 1; }
a { word-wrap: break-word; }

Actual Results:
Neither zoom and word-wrap are recognized as CSS level 3 properties.

Expected Results:
They should both validate.

Zoom is defined in:

Word-wrap is defined in:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-text/#word-wrap

Hmm.. the link:
http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/#properties-from-css-
should include the trailing hyphen as part of the anchor.

Over 2 years and it still isn't fixed!  Seriously!?

I'm waiting for an explanation too.  'overflow-wrap' errors out the exact same way as word-wrap.

The zoom property is an IE feature (now adopted by WebKit too). Though it was once mentioned in a CSS3 WD, it no more is. So this part of the bug report should be closed as "not a bug".

The word-wrap property is now recognized in CSS 3 mode, despite being only in a WD level document. However, the validator silently changes it to the currently recommended name:

Valid CSS information
a {
overflow-wrap : break-word;
}

Apart from the question whether a warning should be issued in such a case, this part of the bug report could be closed as "fixed".
