Comment:

 [attachment:8912.diff] is a cheap patch. It simply does a lookahead for
 `>` before replacing `--` with an en dash. So, the closing HTML comment is
 at least no longer broken. This only allows an assertion to pass, which
 I've broken off into a discrete test.

 The bug still remains that inside HTML comments, things are still
 texturized. (As seen by the failed test.) Given the nature of HTML
 comments, this isn't a big deal, but it sure would be a nicer fix overall.
