It bothers me that http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ makes a difference depending on Content-Type. It does not find any styles in http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/temp/no-comment.xhtml but it does find styles in http://www.user.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/temp/no-comment.html However, http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#C_4 and http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.8 make no difference for Content-Type if I'm not mistaken. My conclusion: The CSS validator should at least include a warning about "comments" when finding <style type="text/css"> <!-- /* Of course it is incredibly stupid by authors to write XHTML but use constructs that were necessary for Netscape 2! */
