Where? If anything, there's got to be a lot of stuff not properly defined  
and not adhered to by the browser vendors, because as Martin Atkins  
writes, there are still inconsistencies and CSS is still not able to fully  
describe everything that has a style in HTML.

With CSS2.1, how would you style the button you get from an <input  
type="file"> for instance?

If the HTML spec is going to contain informal fragments of Relax-NG, I  
believe there's a place for informal fragments of CSS as well.
