If I am not mistaken, spec wins. The # of -s must be evenly divisble by
2 for it to be a valid comment. This is basically equivalent to:
<!--

And since your example had 60 -s, its legal. :) Someone posted a very
good description of this to one of the comp.infosystems.www groups, but
sadly those are becoming close to unreadable lately, so the 2 or 3 good
articles a day (week? month? :) are easy to miss.
