Steps to reproduce:
1. view site in Mozilla rv:1.0.1 Gecko/20020702 or rv:1.1a+ Gecko/20020702
using win2k
Expected Results:
No comment source appears in page
Actual Results:
-- end header ----------------------------------------------------->
appears in Mozilla, but not in IE6.
Looking in the source the comment is missing the beginning <! in Mozilla but not
in IE6 or in
<http://webtools.mozilla.org/web-sniffer/view.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seaburychicago.com%2Fdefault_r.asp>
This is an IIS4 site. I changed UA String to IE5.5 and IE6 in Mozilla but still
got the same result, so I don't think this is server side sniffing related.
Note the page uses DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Final//EN">
the code is equivalent to <!-- end header -> (which is evang worthy)
have you tried saving the file to disk in IE and using that?

saved to disk using IE6 and viewed in Mozilla still drops the leading <! in view
source. using the 'source generator sidebar' from mozilla-evangelism.bclary.com
shows what is happening in the DOM.
This is what the DOM thinks it saw:
<TD align = "left" valign = "top">
<!---->
-- end header ----------------------------------------------------->
The comments in standards mode are definite evang fodder, but what is happening
here?

cc'ing heikki. is this from those changes to comment parsing?
Apparently, the strict comment parsing code is not able to find the comment end
and therefore we end up treating the "comment" as text. However, the code failed
to include <! before bailing out.

btw, looks like switching to quirks mode still exhibits the bug.
