Description Raj Doshi 2012-05-05 20:57:45 UTC
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.

Indeed!

It seems Opera/WebKit/Gecko already do this.
