Looks like this is a new warning added in the release that came out a
few days ago, its a very good one IMO. See:
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 , http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4
and http://www.hixie.ch/advocacy/xhtml

That strikes me as unlikely. I wouldn't be surprising if /having/ the
comments caused the style to be ignored, but removing them shouldn't
have that effect. Unfortunately, I'm not in a position to test right
now, but I'll see if I can this evening.
Which browsers have you tested this in? And which of them show that
effect?

Avoid XHTML and avoid inline style.
