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 :-( -Olaf- -- Don't buy away your freedom -- GNU/Linux
