Hmmm... My "DocBook Publishing" (XML) book says that "<!-" and "->"
start and stop (XML) comments.  They work in firefox, but I'm guessing
it's not legit.

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/fdp-primer/index.html
says that "<!" and ">" demark SGML code within an XML doc.  It need
not contain a comment. Within SGML code, "--" toggles commenting on
and off.  So "<!-- comment 1 -- not a comment -- comment 2 -->" is not
a comment, though it contains two comments.  But in firefox (with
default or XHTML DTD), it's all comment.
