I think you're both missing the point. The strings <!-- and --> are still
passed to the CSS parser.
What's being discussed is making validators whine about
<style><!--...</style>, because that causes weird parsing in legacy
browsers. (It could also be something like <style> *[foo="<!--"] { ... }
</style> or <style> /* <!-- woot --!> */ </style>.)
