It's still a bogus comment (in HTML5 > nomenclature), the "--" part is irrelevant. Ok, so if a comment only starts with '<!' then it ends at the first '>' only (ignoring any '--'), but if a comment starts with '<!--' then it must end with '-->'. >> PA<!- -->SS | "- " | PASS >> PA<!- -- >SS | "- " | PASS > > These are bogus comments, so again, they should be "- --" and "- -- " > respectively, IMHO. Ok. >> PA<!-- > FAIL -- >SS | " > FAIL " | PASS > > Disagree. The terminator should be "-->", not "-- S* >". I don't see any > good reason to have "-- S* >". I was working on the assumption that the comment would end at the first occurance of '>' while in the comment end state, but that whitespace would be ignored while searching for it. Several browsers already handle it like that including Mozilla, Opera and Safari (except in Opera, the comment contained " > FAIL -"). Although IE, OmniWeb and iCab failed. -- Lachlan Hunt http://lachy.id.au/
