/**
* This interface inherits from <code>CharacterData</code> and represents the
* content of a comment, i.e., all the characters between the starting '
* <code>&lt;!--</code>' and ending '<code>--&gt;</code>'. 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.
* <p> No lexical check is done on the content of a comment and it is
* therefore possible to have the character sequence <code>"--"</code>
* (double-hyphen) in the content, which is illegal in a comment per section
* 2.5 of [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204'>XML 1.0</a>]. The
* presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during
* serialization.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>.
