Subject: <!-- -- --> 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.
