calc() with comment brings unexpected result
The CSS snippet
mypar { width:calc(10em /*comment*/ + 10px) }
gives the error
Value Error : width /*comment*/ + is an incorrect operator 10px)
When replacing the plus operator by a minus, giving the very similar code
mypar { width:calc(10em /*comment*/ - 10px) }
this is evaluated as valid.
A "valid" result is also given, when I remove the space character between percent sign and start of the comment indicator
mypar { width:calc(10em/*comment*/ + 10px) }
or when totally removing the comment.
I do not see any reason why the first example should be not valid, if all other ones are. (Check was done for CSS level 3 + SVG.)
This is due to the difference in handling spaces before + and - in some other parts of the parser, it is a tricky bug but definitely a bug
