Summary: Incorrect syntax highlighting for seemingly escaped comments

Initial Comment:
In CSS fragments such as the following:

/* Hide from MacIE5 \*/ #info { float: right } /* */

the whole line is highlighted as a comment, even though the 
backslash should not escape the termination of the 
comment. This above trick is commonly used to hide CSS 
from IE 5 on the Macintosh, but other browsers correctly see 
the first comment termination and interpret the rule.

Note that the parser does get this right, and the #info {...} rule is 
displayed as expected in the outline.
