Comment end is not recognized correctly. There are lots of other "-" combinations that cause the same error. Above URL shows the page where error was first seen. (Mathematical fomulary; german)

Is this a valid DOCTYPE? I thought only "... Final//EN" exists? Everything works fine when I change "Final//DE" to "Final//EN".

Duplicate of bug 106100 is probably the best resolution. In strict mode, we follow the CORRECT HTML parsing specification, where <! and > represent the beginning and end of a markup declaration, and -- is the comment delimiter: <!-- this is in a comment -- this is in a markup declaration but not in a comment -- this is in a comment again --> Quirks mode uses "<!--" and "-->" as comment delimiters, but you should NOT use the string "--" within a comment. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101600 ***
