/**
 * This interface inherits from CharacterData and represents the
 * content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '
 * <!--' and ending '-->'. Note that this is
 * the definition of a comment in XML, and, in practice, HTML, although some
 * HTML tools may implement the full SGML comment structure.
 * 
 * 
 * No lexical check is done on the content of a comment and it is therefore
 * possible to have the character sequence "--" (double-hyphen)
 * in the content, which is illegal in a comment per section 2.5 of [ XML 1.0 ]. The
 * presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during
 * serialization.
 * 
 * 
 * 
 * See also the Document
 * Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification .
