Currently not -- Mr. Sheets is however rallying users to get support  
for something like ‘include = "source.css#properties";’ which would  
include only the ‘properties’ repository rule from the source.css  
language grammar.

I think we could live with an additional ‘CSS (inline)’ language  
grammar (for only the properties) until the above mentioned feature  
appears -- though this might make Mr. Sheets bring up another pet  
request of his (hiding language grammars from the menu(s)) ;)

An alternative would be to rewrite the CSS grammar so that it matches  
properties also outside brackets -- seeing how we match only known  
properties, this shouldn’t cause false-matching of ‘looks like  
properties’ constructs.
