It is not valid. Probably the author( a control freak) meant to comment
out stuff, as in:
body {font: 13px arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif;/*font-size:small;
font:x-small;*/}
A user friendly author might write this, instead:
body {font: medium/normal sans-serif; }
Or
body {font: 100%/1.2 sans-serif; }
Or
body {font-family: sans-serif; }
Or, and more...see the Wiki.
