Just had a discussion with someone who wanted to know if a "-" can be
used as the last character in a comment. I would say yes, since a
comment is terminated by TWO "-" characters. However, is the following
comment valid?
<!-- Hello--->
Should a parser consider the first of the three "-"s as the last
character of the comment's text, or consider "->" to be out-of-bounds
text or something?
