The style sheet ends up a few dozen lines and the book loads FAST.

The good thing, is not all comments mess it up, so TEST on a few devices, Not made for the Gorillas in the industry
Ducky:

I only have about 30-40 lines of CSS; but I do use commenting to keep it easy to read. One main p style; one for non-indented paras; headers; images. That's pretty much it, but my fu is pretty ePUB-standard (yeah, yeah, I know those video tags aren't ePUB 1.05 compliant, but, gimme a break! Blame Apple.); it's a little unfair to expect those of us slogging along making a living at this to have to code every book for EVERY reader, particularly if they're not industry-standard-compliant, y'know? (And you'll pry those dropcaps from my cold dead hands...)

It's bad enough I have to juggle around svg's and xpgts for ADE with everything else; having to de-comment my CSS is just pushing a chain up a hill. Hell, I struggle with that crap as it IS; if I remove the comments, I'm probably hosed.
