To simplify further I changed the "comment" down to only 2 dashes: problem still exists for both firefox and the validator. this is the output:

<!-- -- -->

This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>mytitle</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- -- -->
</body>
</html>

The problem disappears for both firefox and validator if the "comment" is further shrunk to only 1 dash. The web page is then blank.

This is the code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<title>mytitle</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- - -->
</body>
</html>

More than a single dash gives an error and incorrect rendering; this can't be right.
