mircea_popescu: many popular browsers completely ignore the specification and implement what users have come to expect: comments delimited with ‘
<!--’ and ‘-->’.
mircea_popescu: On the other hand, most HTML writers don’t perceive comments as anything other than text delimited with ‘
<!--’ and ‘-->’, which is not quite the same. For example, something like ‘
<!------------>’ works as a valid comment as long as the number of dashes is a multiple of four (!). If not, the comment technically lasts until the next ‘--’, which may be at the other end of the document. Because of this,

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=16-05-2013#33371 << a forex fellow in NYC recently put it best: "Any commodity or asset being used as a store of value will experience higher prices than its 'true value'...
