This needs to be distinct from 'comment end bang' only in order to get the end of the comment data right. Then we should have all the corresponding states for [R]CDATA escapes. (The spec currently doesn't have real states for espaces, but I elected to implement escapes as states anyway. See http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/0d2fc193cd1f/parser/html/nsHtml5Tokenizer.cpp#l2469 ) 26328 2 ian 2009-08-09 21:08:26 +0000 In markup: Opera and IE8 do not terminate for either --!> or -- > or --! > or -- !> Safari does not terminate for either -- > or --! > or -- !>, it does for --!> HTML5 and HTML5 Gecko do not terminate for --! > or -- !>, but do for --!> and -- > In script: Opera and IE8 are as above. Safari is the same as above. HTML5 and HTML5 Gecko are like Opera and IE8. The page in question: http://www.erc.gov.ph/ ...renders differently in every browser I tried. I am skeptical about making the crazy behaviour in raw text elements even crazier. It's already really hard to explain; making it harder seems bad. Are there many other pages affected by this? I'd actually rather remove the --!>/-- > behaviour than add more crazy behaviour here. 33136 3 mjs 2010-03-14 14:48:25 +0000 This bug predates the HTML Working Group Decision Policy.
