I completely missed that comment of yours when you originally sent it, 
which is why I didn't address it back then.

I'd rather find a way to address the issue.  I've just been a bit busy 
with other tasks for the last 2 weeks to look into this.

I'd like feedback from implementers about how best to address the issue. 
  The options I can think of:

1. Disallow all comments within the selector for this API. Throw 
SyntaxError when they are used.
2. Allow comments, but define that unclosed comments should throw a 
SyntaxError.
3. Allow comments, define that unclosed comments are silently ignored.
