Also, it does not seem to me that XML advocates the simple
interpretation of the <!-- --> comment rule.
The XML spec says:
For compatibility, the string "--" (double-hyphen) must not
occur within comments.
And this Netscape DevEdge article expounds upon that, pointing out
that a comment like this:
<!-- this -- that -->
is apparently not valid XML.
This makes the XML commenting rules simpler than SGML's, but also
means that certain valid SGML comments, such as:
<!-- this -- -- that -->
are *not* valid XML.
On the one hand, I'm thinking Markdown shouldn't worry about this.
On the other, I'm thinking Markdown shouldn't generate invalid XML
if it can be helped.
