Is this report saying that comments are weird? I agree! Without a test case though it is hard to say if there is a bug.

----
BTW: I found this, which explains comments --> http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/SGMLComments.html
what good ideas!
Follow best practices (open the declaration with <! and immediately put only one comment opening with -- and closing with --, and avoiding within the comment any hyphens, exclamations or angle brackets, and closing the declaration immediately with >). If you want a second comment, open a new declaration!
It's illegal syntax, see http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4
