Description CecilWard 2006-02-22 22:15:47 UTC 
I assume that none of the following are valid if my reading of the CSS 2.1
grammar is correct -

<\!-- \-->
<\!-- -\->
<\!-- -\\->
<\!-- --\>
<\!-- --\\>
<\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\!-- --\\>

yet are passed by the CSS validator.

Regards,

Cecil Ward.

Fixed in CVS by Jean-Guilhem Rouel.
The validator now should throw a lexical error.
