Which validator? I assume you're talking about the CSS validator (this
is the list for the other validators, by the way, the CSS validator has
its own list, www-validator-css...).

It means that if you embed your stylesheet within an (X)html document,
using the <style> tag, then the HTML document has to be valid or the CSS
validator will choke.

It does in no way mean that you have to add HTML markup to your CSS
files.

Hope this helps.
