  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>.
