Fix the server, or send the suppliers a copy of the
SGML standard! It is grossly abusing what is already
a hack.
HTML comments are really null SGML directives with embedded
SGML comments. This is a real example of comments in a non-null
directive (this is also why <!------> won't work):
<!ATTLIST BODY
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
onload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been loaded --
onunload %Script; #IMPLIED -- the document has been removed --
>
Although I think the server is misunderstanding SGML, it doesn't
mean that the Amaya team intended to break their particular hack.
