Quoting Lachlan Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Firstly, Ian, could you please clarify what exactly made you change your mind about this issue, after seven years of pushing (mostly) proper SGML comment handling and which eventually resulted in 5 implementations (Mozilla, Safari, Opera, Konqueror and Prince)?

I'm interested in that as well.


I assume, of course, this now means that all of those browsers will soon, if not already, be removing such support?

Opera is working on it. Though as pointed out earlier I would like to have some
more clarifications on how exactly comments are supposed to be handled.


What about the empty comment declaration: <!> ? I've never seen anyone use it (except in test cases), and I tested it with your new live DOM viewer tool and these were the results:

Per the specification it would be an empty bogus comment.


Opera 9/Win:     CRASHED!
Opera 9/Mac:     CRASHED!

Interesting. Note that these are not final versions. (Newer internal versions
don't have this crash and do the same as Opera 8.5. As in, not exposing it in
the DOM.
