weblint reprots:

   index.html(14): metacharacter ">" should be represented as "&gt;"

line 14 is the last line of the comment.  the "-->" by itself.  i looked
at the 4.01 standard:

   http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4

and can't find anything wrong with this comment.   what exactly is
weblint complaining about?  it doesn't complain about anything else on
the page.
