Description

In the CSS syntax, the list of allowed characters in an identifier has been narrowed down.

This is “an arcane detail that affects approximately no one”, but you may be one of the approximately no ones affected by this.

I’m also happy to make a PR to remediate this, tho I may need some assistance with adding tests.

Research direction

Start at the linked logic in src/values/syntax.rs around lines 319-323 and compare its allowed identifier characters with the narrowed CSS syntax described in the issue. Add or update tests with maintainer guidance, and consider the work done when identifier parsing follows the non-ASCII identifier code-point rule.
