I believe, strictly speaking it is not a mistaken. AFAIK it's like
this: In SGML there is a class of nodes that are delimited with "<!"
and ">" (note that the DOCTYPE declaration also has this form). In
those nodes, comments start with "--" and end with another "--". The
usual HTML comments fit that description. Comments like
<!-- a b c -- d e f -->
don't. Of course there is not much other use for these special node
type in HTML, so it's no problem that browsers accept this kind of
comments without complaining.
so long, benny
