This is because the double hyphen in comments is legal XML ... but illegal
SGML. Since compatibility is still maintained between XML and SGML, leave
the '--' out is the best thing to do in XML.

Subject: [xml-dev] <!-- -- -->
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.
