I went and looked and here's the deal:
Comments in HTML are anything between `<!--' and `-->'.
The use of `-->' instead of `>' means that you can comment out HTML
tags.
As usual with useful WWW features, Mosaic gets it wrong; Mosaic ends
the comment at the first `>', which, of course, screws up parsing
commented HTML code with tags. For now, there is no known fix to
this; you'll have to do something uglier (like, take out the angle
brackets).
