safecss_filter_attr remove styles with calc()

[displaynone]

I have a shortcode inside a tag attribute:

<a style="color:#d0c900; width: calc([myshortcode]% *10*1 );">

Executing do_shortcode returns:

<a style="color:#d0c900;">

Debuging safecss_filter_attr I found that if the attribute contains a parentheses, the method ignores it. So using: calc( 100% - 20px ) is not allowed

[joyously]

There are quite a few valid things that would get removed. Gradients and filters and var can also have parentheses, not to mention data URIs or content values.

But what is odd is that the $allowed_attr is filtered, and if empty, no other change is made to the $css. Only if it has something is the $css further manipulated. This seems backward.
