You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe. NOTE THE WORDING THAT IT MAY BE VALID IN SOME CONTEXTS http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#comments STATES THAT THE CONTENTS OF A CSS COMMENT SHOULD NOT AFFECT RENDERING ...... IE INTERPRETER Doesn't INTERPRET IT > Ampersands inside comments are parsed instead of being > left alone -- strings inside comments are not meant to be acted > on by browser -- only for user notes #DEMO style rule Note that leaving the comment alone assumes, AFAIK, that the comment itself is valid from the markup point of view. Inserting unescaped ampersands in (X)HTML is invalid [1], therefore BUT THIS IS CSS NOT HTML IMHO it shouldn't be reported as an Amaya issue. Nevertheless, it would be nice if Amaya could try to detect and ignore this issue - unfortunately, it's one of the most commonly found issues in invalid markup... A warning should be issued, though, to invite the user to correct or warn the site developer.
