Hi Tom!

Good idea. The patch seems to do the job, but it also has the side
effect that '---foo', '----foo' and so on are recognized as
properties.

Putting it instead at the start of 'css-nmstart-re' seems to fix that:

diff --git a/lisp/textmodes/css-mode.el b/lisp/textmodes/css-mode.el
index 5f4eebd..3e84b43 100644
--- a/lisp/textmodes/css-mode.el

 (defconst css-ident-re ;; (concat css-nmstart-re css-nmchar-re "*")
   ;; Apparently, "at rules" names can start with a dash, e.g. @-moz-keyframes.
   (concat css-nmchar-re "+"))

Though I'm unsure what 'css-nmstart-re' is intended to contain, since
it's missing a docstring. Maybe Stefan knows?
