That's mostly because the grammar in the CSS2.1 draft doesn't really 
handle the error correction for unexpected EOF cases. A comment really 
should be defined as starting with "/*" and ending with "*/" _or_ the EOF. 
Similarly for other things like blocks, matched parentheses, etc.

This is currently not defined in CSS2.1, but hopefully CSS3 Syntax will 
clarify it.
