Yes. I am quite fanatical about validation.

The 2nd link (to the validator) identifed 8 validation errors
at the moment I checked it.

..Style sheets get
validated by two different programs, and HTML markup via
HTMLValidator.

This example* does /not/ render HTML comments.
'Do you see me?' Can you produce an SSCCE** that
supports your assertion?
