Hi,

As per my understanding of:
[15] Comment ::= '<!--' ((Char - '-') | ('-' (Char -
'-')))* '-->' 
comments cannot allow "--" in the content.

What then on the earth is the meaning of:
"For compatibility, the string "--" (double-hyphen)
must not occur within comments"

Can somebody help me understand this.

Thanks in advance,
Joe F.
