------- Comment #4 from ddkilzer at webkit.org  2008-01-19 13:03 PDT -------
The problem is that the HTML content of the page has a nested comment (<!--
tags <!-- comment --> tags -->).  If the "<!-- comment -->" in the center is
removed, the page renders as expected.

You can see the stray "-->" that is rendered with Safari above "ABOUT THE EYE"
in the sidebar.

What does HTML5 say about nested comments?  Should the parser track the nested
comments and try to line them up, or should the first "-->" effectively end any
current comment regardless of the "match" level?
