  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><!--</code>' and ending '<code>--></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>.
