Here's a snap of that page:

</style> this tag shouldn't be here at all (this breaks comment)

--> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< so this will show up
</style>

So not a bug in Mozilla, but rather in the page. 
And who will be the invalidator this time?

hmm...
H-J : you're right it's an error in the page... but it's inside the style tag...
i'm not sure if it should be displayed or not...

Comment 4

[HJ]

Yes, but the comment tags are broken by the first <style> tag! Remember it goes
like this:

<script>
<!--
</script>
-->
</script>

Note, I always use //--> instead of -->

H-J: you're right. i have n0t seen that.
in this case i would say: mozilla does it right.
