Haven't followed this whole thread, not sure what you're doing, but the CFML comment sequence should never print through to the output at all, ***when interpreted by a CFML engine***. If you're reading the file somehow, then it's not being handled as CFML, and you'll have to deal wiht it according to your circumstances. But as CFML, the validator hsould never see it, because it doesn't render on the page. It's a comment, not HTML.
