[csswg-drafts] [css-display-3] Clarify the term "contiguous sequence of sibling text nodes" (#4860)

SelenIT has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-display-3] Clarify the term "contiguous sequence of sibling text nodes" ==
In the [introduction section](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-display/#intro) of [css-display-3], the "text run" concept is introduced in the following paragraph:
> ...each _contiguous sequence of sibling text nodes_ generates a _text run_ containing their text contents, which is assigned the same styles as the generating text nodes.

As far as I understand, several contiguous sibling text nodes in the same element can occur only as a result of DOM operations like `appendChild()`. But what about sibling text nodes separated only by the HTML comment node? Technically, they hardly can be called "a _contiguous_ sequence", but the intent of the "text run" concept seems to suggest that they should form a single text run rather than two separate ones. Doesn't this need clarifying?
