Here is a "well-formed" comment:

  +ADw-/div+AD4-+ADw-script+AD4-alert('pwnd')+ADw-/script+AD4-...

If the document does not declare an encoding and the comment is placed
appropriately in the document, this will likely cause IE6 to consider
the document UTF-7 encoded and the script will be executed. Of course,
escaping the comment would not protect from this problem either, only
a proper encoding declaration will.
