It's not broken, that's a perfectly valid construct. The third "-" is just the first character in the comment text. But, that doesn't change the fact that the closing tag is wrong.

The formal definition of a comment is "A comment declaration starts with <!, followed by zero or more comments, followed by >. A comment starts and ends with "--", and does not contain any occurrence of "--"."
