I think a back-tick ( ` ) would have worked better, except that it won't work either, in this case. Lynx needs *something* it can recognize as a malformed comment terminator to recover from. No terminator at all won't work. What surprised me was that source view didn't show anything after the start of the comment. I don't remember seeing that before, but maybe I just always assumed I was being served an empty page for some reason. Shouldn't source view show the contents of an unclosed comment, or does it do so, indicating a problem on my end? "D"ownloading the page got the full source.
