/**
* 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.
