In the W3C working draft for HTML5 here's a line I find confusing:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/introduction.html#html-vs-xhtml
Comments that contain the string "-->" can be represented in the DOM but not in the HTML syntax or in XML.
I can interpret this in two different ways:
Comments that contain the string "-->" can be represented in XML and in the DOM but not in the HTML syntax
Comments that contain the string"-->" can be represented in the DOM but neither in the HTML syntax nor in XML.
I really find the original formulation highly confusing. Which one does it mean and is it even correct english?
Who should I contact if I want to point out that I find such a wording highly confusing and that hence there's a high probability that other non-native english speaker would find this kind of formulation highly confusing too?
