This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In the "Script data escaped less-than sign state" for tokenization (section 8.2.4.25), there is an error in the "Anything Else" case. It currently says "Switch to the script data state." It should say "Switch to the script data escaped state" since the escaping "<!--" is still applicable.

This bug was cloned to create bug 17851 as part of operation convergence.
