Well, I know what is valid in SGML... Only I thought that HTML
implements only a subset of SGML, and not everything valid in SGML is
also valid in HTML...

That's an awkward situation: Either we have to implement full valid SGML
comment parsing, and ignore the fact that it's probably not what the
author intended -- without even the possiblitiy of issuing a warning. Or
else we presumably violate the standard, and possibly complain about
valid HTML :-(
