W3 CSS validation error

ysri

I am using the validation service from https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator
and for the script line
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/t/dt/jq-2.2.0,dt-1.10.11/datatables.min.css"/>

I get the below validation errors:

URI : https://cdn.datatables.net/t/dt/jq-2.2.0,dt-1.10.11/datatables.min.css
13 table.dataTable thead .sorting, table.dataTable thead .sorting_asc, table.dataTable thead .sorting_desc Parse Error ;cursor:hand}
13 .dataTables_wrapper Parse Error ;zoom:1;
13 Parse Error [:1}.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_length]
13 .dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_paginate .paginate_button Parse Error ;cursor:hand;
13 .dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_paginate .paginate_button.current:hover Parse Error [:#333 !important;border:1px solid transparent;border-radius:2px}.dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_paginate .paginate_button.current]
13 .dataTables_wrapper .dataTables_scroll div.dataTables_scrollBody Parse Error {margin-top:-1px;
13 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class :touch
13 -webkit-overflow-scrolling Parse Error touch}

Is this a know issue, documented anywhere?
I have to justify the above errors for my work and hoping to find if there's an article on this as an existing issue.

Thanks,

Hi Sri,

The issues you've highlighted are effectively hacks to support older browsers (DataTables core supports IE6+ currently, hence the use of zoom:1 etc). So these are known and expected at this time.

With the next major update only IE8+ will be supported, so these will be removed at that point.
