RE: Beta test of the W3C Markup Validator (0.8.0 beta 1)

Hi, thanks

(I'm looking at the test validator; however, I'm not sure I want my code 
fixed by anything, even by tidy [other than my hands; I just had some of my 
code 'fixed' by something pretty dreadful that was not supposed to be on my 
machine & just got that cleaned up], in any case the validator does not like 
my notes at the end and the &quotes that got put in at yahoo at one point, 
but I can fix the latter easily as I have another version!)

However  I do have a procedural (? I think)  question:

I've just finally found out that you can comment out style codes so they are 
not displayed as text in very very old versions of browsers.  The style 
still displays properly in more recent browsers.

I notice the style codes are not commented out in the document I translated?

In such cases are we allowed to comment out the style codes ourselves (using
<!-- -->)??

Thanks!

Take care.
