Well, that doesn't explain why the first character in the next line is
red, does it?

Reading your HTML reference from w3.org, I cannot see why this should
be forbidden. :-) It does not forbid me using _no_ whitespace before
the final "-->", though it does warn of putting two or more adjacent
hyphens _inside_ comments. So what I'm doing is using _one_ dash within
a comment and not adding any whitespace before the "-->". ;-)))

I digress. I don't really want to check for the details either :-) and
accept your explanation. Thanks!
