Yes, I note they are visible, but had you validated the

The fool JEditorPane is rendering all comments as text.
I am *finally* convinced.
I went hunting for lint checkers (for Java), and
of course the Java Glossary was in the top 5 hits,
so I surfed over to..

...then. I noticed something odd* in my 'browser'
(IE 6) and did some further checking.
- That URL according to the W3C validator..
"This Page Is Valid HTML 4.01 Transitional!"
- Contains comments
- *Displays* the text of the comments when
rendered in JEditorPane.
So, you are right in that even entirely valid
and well-formed HTML can be screwed up to that
extent, in the J2SE 1.6 JEditorPane.
Perhaps it is something in the styles.
What a pity. :-(
* Oh, and the odd thing? IE 6 inserts a 'space'
to the right of the page content, for no apparent
reason - all the content is rendered within 100%
of the visible window width. This forces the page
to always have a horizontal scrollbar, no matter
how much/little screen space is devoted to it.
(mutters) Damn fool IE.
