16  * This interface inherits from <code>CharacterData</code> and represents the
17  * content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '
18  * <code>&lt;!--</code>' and ending '<code>--&gt;</code>'. Note that this is
19  * the definition of a comment in XML, and, in practice, HTML, although some
20  * HTML tools may implement the full SGML comment structure.
21  * <p> No lexical check is done on the content of a comment and it is
22  * therefore possible to have the character sequence <code>"--"</code>
23  * (double-hyphen) in the content, which is illegal in a comment per section
24  * 2.5 of [<a HREF='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204'>XML 1.0</a>]. The
25  * presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during
26  * serialization.
27  * <p>See also the <a HREF='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>.
