Not quite, see <http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#sec-comments>.
Everything except a the string "--" will be ignored. The reason given
is compatibility with SGML, which means a strict parser wouldn't allow

Be careful when you switch to XHTML then 8-). The problem is too much
sloppy parsing, if you want to call it a problem. Browsers tend to
accept almost everything to make up for people who don't care (or
FrontPage).
