I understand that they should not be considered conforming. But is there really any doubt that User Agents should support them for backwards compatibility? I can state from experience that there are quite a few apparently blank pages on archive.org that go back to sanity if "--!>" closes out a comment. [Admission: Some were written by me.] They obviously can't be maintained now. (And several are no longer available from the original source.) I would not have remembered these pages if I had not been able to view them in the browsers of the time. It would be perfectly fine for a validator to whine, but it would be best if the pages could still be read -- and would be properly indexed by search engines using the html5 parsing rules. -jJReceived on Saturday, 15 August 2009 23:24:01 UTC
