4.1.9 Comments
Comments begin with the characters "/*" and end with the characters "*/".
They may occur anywhere between tokens, and their contents have no
influence on the rendering. Comments may not be nested.

CSS also allows the SGML comment delimiters ("<!--" and "-->") in certain
places, but they do not delimit CSS comments. They are permitted so that
style rules appearing in an HTML source document (in the STYLE element) may
be hidden from pre-HTML 3.2 user agents. See the HTML 4.0 specification
([HTML40]) for more information.
