Bug in OmniWeb PR2

That page shows up blank because it has been mistakenly commented out by  
Katrina Montinola.

HTML comments end in "-->", not "->".  Mosaic incorrectly thinks comments  
end in ">", which allowed some people to create non-SGML pages.  Netscape  
understands real HTML comments, but contains a heuristic to go back and let  
comments end in ">" if they are never ended by "-->".  (EG, if the file is  
commented out.)

We haven't gotten around to putting such a heuristic into OmniWeb.  We  
understand correct comments, so for now we are advising people to fix their  
pages and make them true SGML (since that's better for portability anyways).  
 The truth is we could spend all our time trying to compensate for bad  
HTML, so there's always a balancing act when we add "features" like this.

Here's a sample from the top of the page you said was blank:

Oops!  And to think this is Oracle's page about how to interface with the WWW.
