Yes, I've seen that. I still think <!-- -- --> should be a parse error. That 
is, I'd like the text:

>Anything else
>    Append two U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS (-) characters and the input character
>    to the comment token's data. Switch to the comment state.

...to say:

   Anything else
       Parse error. Append two U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS (-) characters and the 
input
       character to the comment token's data. Switch to the comment state.
