[Bug 6125] HTML validator fails for "--" within comment blocks

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=6125

"Is there any technical reason? If the parser sees "<!--", the next thing to
look for is probably "-->", I wonder why "--" in between is checked?"

Because, as stated in the specification,
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4 , the comment end
delimiter is "--" not "-->".
