We are using the css parser to parse style sheets, and
we remarked that the escaping character is not handled.

The corresponding part of the CSS specification is here :
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#q6

As it is very difficult the add this at the parser
level because there are no setters for LexicalValue,
and that it is not easy to reconstruct a new
LexicalUnit chained array, would you consider adding
this handling to the parser ?

    OK, just to confirm the request: you want escaped character
    strings within strings not to be passed through, but to be
    substituted with the actual represented character within the
    SAC LexicalUnit?

    Yes, that would be the idea.

    Because escaped characters are just a way to enter
    characters in the css style sheet, this should be hidden to
    the user.

    Fixed in CVS, will be included in the upcoming release.
