Just put the following comment into a file (w3.xml schema)
<!--
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-->
I was even careful enough to put spaces after the "<!--"
and "-->", but the parser in XMLSpy complains that the
third "-" after the first gap is "grammatically
unexpected".
And Altova is absolutely right this time. Both XML 1.0 4E
and XML 1.1 2E define comments as:
'<!--' ((Char - '-') | ('-' (Char - '-')))* '-->'
See 2.5. This restriction is even spelled out in prose.

....also, I submit that we all must honourably commit seppuku
right now rather than serve the Dark Side by producing the
HTML 5 spec.
