James,
Good catch. The comment by "zcorpan" [1] gets to the crux of the
matter, namely, that this is due to sgml. In particular, dashes within
a comment *are* allowed as long as there are the right number of them.
There must be pairs of double dashes:
<!-- this is -- -- ok -->
<!-- this is not -- ok -->
My guess is that adding two more dashes to the relevant comments in the
style guide will solve the problem. For example, replace:
<!-- DIALOG NON-MODAL
----------------------------------------------------------------->
with:
<!-- DIALOG NON-MODAL
------------------------------------------------------------------->
