  yes except it was truncated (i.e. missing the header defining the file
being patched). However if I apply it the regression tests fails
on ./test/HTML/wired.html, it seems they have a comment like

   <!--TRADES->

which the HTML parser used to accept without complaining, but your code barfs
on it with:

 ./test/HTML/wired.html:517: HTML parser error : Comment not terminated
 <!--TRADES->
 <br>
 <font face= "Verdana, Arial, Geneva,

 ^

And as a result the start elements following seems not to be seen as such.
I think your code should be modified to allow any -> to close the comment
or maybe even just '>'. At least this should be looked at, I don't think
I can commit this without further analysis of that case.
