[css comments vs html comments]

No, there are standards. You can find them for both HTML and CSS at
http://www.w3.org

The fun thing with CSS comments is that they use the standard C comment
separators of /* ... */, which lulls you into a false sense of security,
what with C++, Java, PHP etc also using the // comment identifier, but CSS
doesn't go with that idea. Maybe it was just me who fell for that one...
