Incomplete list of mistakes in the design of CSS

I don't understand the point about comments. Why shouldn't they be allowed? What object model?

>Comments shouldn't have been allowed basically everywhere in CSS (compare to HTML, which basically only allows them where content goes), because it makes them basically unrepresentable in the object model, which in turn makes building editing directly on top of the object model impossible

The CSS Object Model.

HTML comments are basically just a HTML tag that isn't rendered. Tools that 'compile' the HTML code into a document tree, including browsers, preserve comments as nodes without any extra effort.

CSS comments can go anywhere:

    /*wow*/ .selector /*x*/ {animation /*z*/: 2s /*z*/ linear /*z*/ bounce;}

Tools that transform/parse CSS can either: 1. Strip comments before parsing, meaning anything based on the parsed version will lose the comments. 2. Dedicate a disproportionate amount of complexity to retaining the comments, and still not really have a good way to handle them through edits/transformations.
