It would make the comment legal, but it would not preserve semantics, no. Comment text is always verbatim; no entity (or other) parsing is performed on the text between comment markers. I don’t see why anyone would care about lossy munging, though. Does anyone roundtrip Markdown-generated HTML documents back to Markdown and if so, do they really need to have their hyphens preserved exactly? It seems to me that simply subtituting a similar-enough-looking character is Good Enough.
