At least in WF2, this seems to be caused by an embedded HTML comment. 
There's a large block of HTML in a comment (including the 'DOM3 Load and 
Save' note), and within that, the text 

"<!--the
 semantics of <code>method</code> and <code>enctype</code>
 attributes: -->" 

which prematurely ends the comment in both browsers (strange, as I would 
have thought that Firefox would have just considered the part quoted above 
to be outside the comment - which it does - and the part following to still 
be part of the comment - which it doesn't seem to).
