Description
Since user generated content can contain strings such as "-->" or "--", using HTML comments to attempt to remove it from display can lead to unexpected results that break the page layout.
An example (for Firefox) is here:

and an explanation is in my comments in this thread:
http://community.elgg.org/mod/groups/topicposts.php?topic=32565&group_guid=23300
Although the specific example is broken only in Firefox, it would be easy to create an example that would break the layout in any browser.
