The li.comment children lists and list items are one of the primary reasons to check all HTML tags within comments. All too often, the developer will either not properly specify styles for li.comment, or else will overlook resetting the LI styling.<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">In the Theme Test Unit data, there is a comment with the same markup as page 3 of the "Layout Test".<br>
<br>
I've run across a number of themes that don't include the styles necessary to have the comments display the same way as the layout test does. One really common problem is the lists often have borders or padding around them because the comments themselves are list items.<br>
<br>
How much should comment styling really be taken into consideration? Has it been decided that poor styling of complex markup with a comment is grounds for rejection?<br>
