Description Bj 2004-05-29 18:21:17 UTC 
From http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/BUGS.html

''
XHTML user agents are required to remove comments from XHTML documents before 
further processing, hence e.g. 

<style type="text/css"><!--
     body { volume: 100% }
--></style>

is to be ignored by those user agents. The CSS Validator should give a strong 
warning when encountering this and ignore the rules inside such comments.
