Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.73 [en] (Win98; I)
BuildID:    2000080808

Here is HTML page:
********************
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/transitional.dtd">

 --

<b>This is invisible</b>

<ul>
<li><b>This is visible</b></li>
</ul>

<b>This is invisible</b>

********************
Only list element is displayed.
All the page elements are visible in IE 5.0 or Netscape 4.73.
The problems start in some cases when string "--" exists on a page.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.View with Mozilla the HTML page defined above.


Actual Results:  Only list element with text "This is visible" is displayed.	
						

Expected Results:  All other page elements should be displayed too. Text "This 
is invisible" should be visible.
That is an XHTML document. As such it MUST be valid (XHTML *REQUIRES* us to
refuse to render any broken documents).

Thus this bug is invalid. We will start doing the refusing once we treat XHTML
as XML (we currently treat it as strict HTML, which is wrong-wrong-wrong).

Marking as DUP of the treat-XHTML-as-XML bug.
