Just a small, personal subjective opinion.

I'm quite frustrated that CSS doesn't support //, because it makes
quickly disabling portions of the CSS to check how that looks much,
much harder and more time consuming. Also, // is much faster than /
and then hunting for *.

Strange how such small, non-important things in the end get very
frustrating because it's so much used.

So although it might not be easier from a parser perspective, it's at
least easier for authors. (depending on what you use comments for, but
I'd take a wild guess that most comments in WebSRT would be
single-line)
