Give the following example we get a page that all the style information is
ignored, i.e. we get "some text" on a white page with normal margins.

test.html
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
      href="style.css"
      title="merlin style">
<body>
some text
</body>
</html>

style.css
<style>
<!--
BODY {
  margin-top: 100px;
  margin-right: 10px;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
  margin-left: 100px;
  background: red;
}
-->
</style>

but if we have a page, as below all works correctly.

<html>
<head>
<style>
<!--
BODY {
margin-top: 100px;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
margin-left: 100px;
background: red;
}
-->
</style>
<body>
some text
</body>
</html>

Invalid.  Mozilla is acting accordin to spec here.  The <STYLE> tag and the <!--
--> comment are only allowed in stylesheets that are embedded in an HTML
document.  They are part of the HTML, not part of the style.  Given your
external style sheet as presented, the CSS parser correctly reads it as:

<style> <!-- BODY { rules }

Since "<style> <!-- BODY" is an invalid selector, the entire rule is thrown away.

Removing the HTML from the external style sheet makes your example work fine.
