Per CSS 2.1 ( http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#comments ) comments can appear "anywhere between tokens". We don't put the comment tokens anywhere in grammar specifications to keep things simple (they do appear in the tokenizer spec however where they're allowed inside other tokens). Having comments as the first and last tokens should also be allowed, although on re-reading the spec, that isn't really covered by "between tokens"... I don't think that distinction was made intentionally. So yes, your grammar is correct.
